Album Notes

Known for the unique spin they put on bluegrass and Americana music, this Duluth, Minnesota, quartet consistently stuns audiences with their tweaking of tradition that includes a never-before-heard mix of punk, alt-country, rock and pop.

"Trampled By Turtles are a drummer away from sounding like the Pogues of bluegrass – so fast and loud and melodically severe," writes City Pages.
With their new recording, Trouble, under their belt, the group expands into new territory: From the exuberant pop strains of "Still in Love With You" and the roiling, dark underbelly of "Who's Calling?" to the baleful "Salvation," TBT up the ante once again.

While TBT haven't eschewed their roots – traditional music forms are the bedrock of their sound – they never allow their take on tradition to become mere mimicry. Producer Rich Mattson (Ol' Yeller, Minnesota Music Award Producer of the Year), assisted in making Trouble stand out from the rest of the pickers and slingers out there, incorporating drums, violin and cello – the latter featuring Jessy Greene (Wilco, Jayhawks).

I actually was googling to find out how to care for a baby snapping turtle we found and TBT showed up.  Being from Northern MN I decided to take a short online detour and log into CD Baby to check them out. I\'m not a big Bluegrass fan but was caught up by the energy and talent!  It is a regular in my car now and I need to use my cruise control when it is playing!  Might just have to buy another cd and will certainly watch for the chance to see them in concert.

Trouble: Who\'s Calling?

I haven\'t been to any TBT shows yet, but listening to this album makes me really want to!  \"Who\'s Calling\" has such a great, full tone!  I really like the complete gamut of moods the band can express, even within one song; it\'s very cool and not very common these days, with all of the simple and conventional pop artists that seem to plague modern music.

I have been to 27 trampled shows and obviously they are one of my faves! There was one time the dave simonette kept breaking the strings on his guitar cause they were rockin so hard! I encourage EVERYONE to check them out, even if u don't like bluegrass cause you might be surprised!
