QUICK BIO
Formed in Dallas, Texas in 2008 this “crossover thrash” band as some call them, signed with Southern Lord Records in 2013. They have quickly gained a following in recent years and, in my opinion, have a lot of potential as a band. While their first two records gained many accolades, I believe they can continue to grow as song writers and have the opportunity to hit a level of popularity only a few thrash bands have ever reached.

HOW THEY GOT ON MY RADAR
We can all thank my father, Tim, for pointing Power Trip out to me. Specifically, he showed me the music video below.
Shortly after, I ran across a live concert video from 2017 and was blown away by their stage presence and at how much the crowd ate it up (Skip to ~13:20 for a perfect example of what I mean)
