band, Trauma Lanes brings it! 

Here is the interview!



I see you guys are heading back into the studio for your 3rd EP! Can you tell us how this one will differ from the previous ones?

TL: It’s a split with our friends from Damage Control with a brand-new guitarist that has brought a lot of newer sounds and ideas to the table. It’s a lot heavier, more southern and riffy compared to our older stuff.

What is your favorite part of playing live?

TL: Definitely the three people that show up that are trapped there and are forced to listen to us… they accidentally showed up and don’t know what they are in for. But actually, the energy in the crowd. It’s always what fuels us every time no matter what.

Least favorite?

TL: Fucking up, forgetting parts. We ALWAYS have a technical breakdown or some kind. Sinco kicking out a cord 75% of the time haha.

What would your dream show be like? Where would it be?

TL: Big fields, barn burner shows…we’re an easy band to please.

If you were to collab. with artists -dead or alive- who would you want to work with?

TL: Would love to do a CD where Devin Townsend does the producing for the album. Would love to work with Adam Dee from Killswitch Engage, Dave Grohl can't miss that…and The Gorgeous if they were still playing shows.

If a restaurant had a meal named after the band, what would be in it?

TL: It wouldn't even be a meal; we would be a sauce. Donair sauce called Trauma Sauce.

What are the highlights of your career so far?

TL: Whenever we have played in Waterloo it’s always been fucking bananas, anywhere in the tri-city area has always been a highlight.


We are trying to rebuild a hardcore community/family and that’s really a big highlight for us so far. There is a lot of support coming from everyone in the scene and we just love it and want to keep building on top of that.

Anything else you would like to add?

TL: Just want to give a few Shout outs to Damage Control,
