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".
In February 2008 The Trews released their much-anticipated third studio
album, "No Time For Later", through Bumstead/Universal Music
Canada. It quickly bulleted into the top 5 in Canada spawning the top
30 hit single "Hold Me In Your Arms" and three more minor hits:
"Paranoid Freak", "Man Of Two Minds" and "Can't
Stop Laughing".
"Acoustic - Friends And Total Strangers", recorded at Toronto's
Glenn Gould Studio and released in the fall of 2009, captured the band's
kinetic energy in front of a full house of fans. The live-acoustic set
contained all their hits as well as previously unreleased rarities and
new songs including the single "Sing Your Heart Out".
