Trez Maschine melds the member's vast musical experiences into a fresh brand of 3-piece rock. Whether it's Gorden's guitar work in the 90's sad-core movement with the critically acclaimed Red House Painter's on 4AD Records; or Brian Kenney's bass playing on stages with the likes of Skanking Pickle, NOFX, Suicidal Tendencies and Unwritten Law, or Rick Smyth's rocking with Eddie Money and opening for Yes. Each member's 25+ years experience as a professional musician is clearly demonstrated.
It is their vast and varied experience that creates a unique take on pop-punk. You'd think that such a mixture might not work, but good music has never been a combination of similarities. It is the differences that make Trez Maschine a great band. Allowing them to write songs that seamlessly weave in and out of genres making them both a headphone-in-the-dark type of band as well as a hard-driving mosh-dance band. It all merges into this pop / punk sound peppered with extensive musicianship and 3 part harmony vocals.
While possible to pinpoint elements reminiscent of influential bands like Primus, Oingo Boingo, Rush, King Crimson or Mr. Bungle, the band is uniquely their own and flawlessly crosses boundaries in each and every song. Watching Trez Maschine play live is an exhilarating ride, every song its own journey yet never feeling out of place.
