Punk, avant-garde, metal, hardcore and anti-music: All of these descriptors have been applied to Louisville, Ky., outfit Tropical Trash, and all are accurate. Whether creating warped, blistering soundscapes or monolithic, wall-of-sound bangers, the quartet concocts a stylistic hodgepodge, leaving little space for anything other than unadulterated wrath. Their latest EP, Decisions’ Empty Nest, is a piercing exercise in chaos and vitriol. In just under eight minutes, it launches a sonic assault with heaping portions of distortion and overdrive. Rock out with Tropical Trash on Friday, August 18, at the Monkey House in Winooski. Local folk experimentalist Wren Kitz opens.
