Trainer - Oh, Mandy! (2025) Hi Res

Five years after their uncompromising debut "Athletic Statics," the noise-rock quartet releases 14 new songs, not just a follow-up—but a statement. The Trainer sound, a jagged blend of garage 'n' roll, experimental noise rock, and edgy no-wave chaos, reaches a new peak on "Oh, Mandy!" Convoluted, mechanically stoic drum beats, howling and screeching guitars in broken riffs, and vocals that range from relaxed coolness to ecstatic screams. Fans of cult labels like Amphetamine Reptile, Skin Graft, or Touch & Go will find Trainer to be the perfect favorite band, filling a gap where there are hardly any currently active acts left. Magnificent, bass-less roar with a double bottom.
