This Alternative-Rock quartet was initially formed in Antigonish, Nova
Scotia CANADA, in 1998 by lead singer+guitarist Colin MacDonald, his brother
guitarist John-Angus MacDonald and bass player Jack Syperek; they were
known as One Eyed Trouser and then simply Trouser, releasing an EP under
that name. Drummer after drummer came and went before Sean Dalton was
recruited.
They subsequently moved to Ontario where they dubbed themselves The Trews
and in August 2003 released their debut full-length album, "House
Of Ill Fame" and the Canadian hit single "Not Ready To Go";
the group spent nearly two years touring across the country and performed
over 400 shows including headline sets as well as high-profile gigs with
marquee acts such as Nickelback, Three
Days Grace, Evanescence, Finger
Eleven, The Offspring, Sam
Roberts and more.
The band's sophomore CD, "Den Of Thieves", which arrived in
August 2005 climbed into the Top Canadian Albums chart peaking at #6 and
went gold driven by the three powerful hit singles "So She's Leaving",
"Yearning" and "Poor Ol' Broken Hearted Me".
After introducing lead single "Hold Me In Your Arms", The Trews
are preparing for their much-anticipated third album; "No Time For
Later" is due out on February 19 via Bumstead / Universal Music Canada.
