We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new album, “Salt” from Santa Cruz, California.beach rock project, Trestles

You can listen to “Salt” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

We have said before and we feel it needs to be said again, Trestles, have such a unique sound and vibe that it is almost impossible not to be swept away by their musical wonderment. This is on full display on their glorious new record

Formed in 2021, the new band made a name for themselves playing in the college rock circuit during the major post-pandemic scene resurgence. While Trestles definitely allows the beach town aesthetic of Santa Cruz to seep into their music, the band is more interested in creating a sound that equally criticizes and celebrates west coast garage rock tradition. 

By finding a balance between the nostalgia of 1960’s musicianship and the accessibility of modern garage rock textures and pop sensibility, the band’s sound aims to be relentlessly rooted in the present. This attitude is delivered through sarcastic, yet aware lyrics that aim to make living in the moment feel like a study in social politics. Trestles‘ music is plainly meant for whoever who wants to hear it.

After becoming a quintessential new band to look out for, Trestles released their first LP Halfway Up The Hill in 2022. Propelled by the success of local indie anthems Dwell  & Rip Curl Sweatshirt the band embarked on a couple of west coast runs, playing numerous sold out shows in college towns. In 2024, Trestles was recognized as Santa Cruz’s “Band of the Year” for their explosive live shows, solidifying them as one to watch.

From the moment we heard the opening track, “Head First” we knew that “Salt” , from Trestles was going to be something special.

“Salt” is one of those magical records that there is not a bad song to be found. You can literally press play and enjoy.

“Babylon”, “Shake My Hand” and “Bones” are all solid well crafted gems that stayed in our soul long after the music faded .

However, the one song that we simply could shake was , “Having A Day” it is an absolutely brilliant song that every music lover needs to hear.

Trestles, are currently on their “Salt” tour . We have a feeling that they are a band that you can’t afford not to see live.
