Adding to the already spectacular line-up, Trudy and the Romance will be heading to Oxford’s Ritual Union Festival October 21.
On new single Is There A Place I Can Go, the trio’s dubbed ‘Mutant 50s Pop’ takes a more contemplative turn. The single is part of their Junkyard Jazz EP, which will be released through B3SCI on November 17.
From character creation to alter-ego exploration, Trudy’s overtly-romanticised, technicolour realm runs deep. Like David Lynch dicing and splicing Walt Disney film reels, Junkyard Jazz EP is a larger-than-life introduction to their saccharine sound, right through to the Grease-style illustrations by LA-based artist Hello Thunderpuss.
The Metro hailed them as: “The Beatles for millennials.”
Their upcoming Junkyard Jazz EP - recorded in former vicarage, Stockport’s Eve studios with producer David Pye - takes its title from another genre they use to describe their seemingly hotchpotch influences.
Band member Olly, said: “Our stuff’s like a collage and we’re trying to jigsaw it all together.
“The songs on the EP are meant to be loose but compact. It ties together as a bunch of different little stories; Junkyard Jazz, a messy love.”
To call Trudy escapism would be too easy. As with any great pop music, location falls into irrelevance. Whilst most bands dream of a world they can leave behind, Trudy is the sound of a band with their eyes-wide and keeping every option open.
DIY reviewed the band as: “Impossible to pin down, they deliver a drunken, stumbling, shambolic rock ’n roll that somehow keeps its sh*t together when the going gets tough. Truly, Trudy are something very special indeed.”
