Episode 04: Ty Trumbull

TRANS-CANADA: An Exploration of Canadian Music

Ty is my pal who helps me edit these podcasts. We’ve been in a few bands together, have toured eastern Canada and have been at each others throats more than once. Our history is, well, tumultuous, to say the least. Perhaps thats a sign of good friends? who knows! I met him in 2005 in a film history class while attending college in Oakville. - he was the scraggly kid who was clearly from the country, which I identified with. Later, on the train back to Toronto, I would play the entirety of NOFXs the Decline on my acoustic guitar and he sang every word. We then entered some sort of non-verbal agreement to write and drink tons of music over the next 7 or 8 years. I initially met up with him half a year ago in Mexico City - where he’s lived for the past few years. This is actually the first thing we recorded for the podcast so I apologize for the not great sound quality. Music in this episode: MFR The Burnitdowns Worst Case, Ontario This is a Parade...
