Three-Track Trademark Truck EP |
Trademark's origins date back to 1988 when, at the tender ages of 7 and 9 years old, cousins Oliver Horton and Stuart Meads composed their first songs together using their Yamaha Portasound and a great uncles temperamental 4-track.
Moving on to 1999, and with a third member, Paul Soulsby, the current Trademark line-up emerged. Sparse gigs in Oxfordshire village halls and CDRs of new material, crazy bootlegs and nonsense sounds, slowly built up interest, until an official debut at Truck Festival 2002.
From here on Trademark have achieved an impressive live presence, including support slots with The Human League and Chicks On Speed, multiple appearances at London electro nights 'The Fan Club' and 'Electrogogo', and a main stage appearance at Truck Festival 2003. Their stage show involves uniform light-up lab-coats, science of sound lectures, and a giant flashing Perspex mains plug.
Trademark release their debut album 'Want More' in June 14th on Truck Records.
