the trusted deliver a stunning 100mph pop rock rush

spin doesn’t wait around. it straight in with tight indie rhythms and jangly guitars, all forward motion and strokes-like urgency. there’s something great about the verse and how controlled it all feels, making your feet shuffle before exploding into a great, great chorus.

The Trusted, friend of the blog, based in southend-on-sea, build widescreen pop from post-punk bones. their sound blends chiming guitars, sharp storytelling, and big, emotional choruses, shaped by years of live shows and a clear instinct for melody. “spin” captures that rush of wanting to matter, that desperate appeal to feel real, wrapping emotional weight inside something that feels euphoric.

it all feels feels urgent and alive, and we’d expect this to do well going into the spring. it’s the melodic, punchy, and the emotionally honest guitar pop we need this year.

thank u for making this the trusted 🎡
