TRUSTcompany’s “The Lonely Position Of Neutral” Released On Vinyl For The First Time
TRUSTcompany‘s “The Lonely Position Of Neutral” has been released on vinyl for the first time through Smartpunk Records. Two variants can be purchased HERE.
Vocalist Kevin Palmer commented:
“It’s wild to think that 23 years after its release, ‘The Lonely Position of Neutral‘ is finally available on vinyl. This record changed our lives, and we’re beyond thankful that it continues to connect with people all these years later.”
Smartpunk Records label manager Matt Burns added:
“This record, and specifically ‘Downfall‘, created a core memory in my mind from when you’d discover new music on the radio. I remember in the early 2000s, I would find out about so many new bands from MTV or MuchMusic, but I got turned onto TRUSTcompany from our local South Florida rock station (shoutout ZETA 94.9)!
I got tickets to see the band at the Halloweenie Roast, which also had KoRn and I think Theory of a Deadman? Tickets were probably only like $30, but I remember the band blew my young mind away! I picked up the CD from a local shop shortly after, and to be able to work with the band over 20 years later on this release is so insane to me!”
