Trash Boat have announced details of a UK headline tour for January and February.
The St Albans quintet will embark on a nine-date run following the release of their new album ‘Heaven Can Wait’ and latest single ‘filthy/RIGHTEOUS’, out now.
Frontman Tobi Duncan reflects on the band’s journey, saying, “Being ten years and four albums deep into this band feels like a gift. We’re honoured to have not only come this far, but to have done it together with all of our original members and even more of the passion that we started with. Now that this album is out, it’s no longer ours, it belongs to the world now. To everyone that cares enough to listen, thank you so much for your continued support. Our only hope is that we get to scream this in your face in person someday. Heaven can wait, we have ROCKING to do!”
He also provides insight into the new single ‘filthy/RIGHTEOUS’, which features Kenta Koie of Crossfaith. “Filthy//Righteous exists as a sort of twin brother to ‘Be Someone’,’ he explains. ‘The latter being a message to the world regarding our pathetic default to strength, acquisition and violence to resolve problems, the former (Filthy//Righteous) being that same message to the person in front of you, the smaller entity you can affect in the moment rather than the leviathan behind a screen that you can’t.”
Tobi adds, “Kenta is a wonderful human being, that attracts positive attention everywhere he goes. He wanders around various backstages devoid of ego and makes friends with absolutely everyone. We were no exception, he introduced himself at Jera on Air and the rest is history. I slid into his DM’s one day and showed him the song asking if he wanted to feature, he thankfully said yes! His contribution is unique and engaging, it’s more than we could have planned for. Thanks so much again Kenta!”
