Trophy Eyes is an Australian punk rock band from Newcastle.[1] They are currently signed to Hopeless Records as of April 2014, about five months after the release of their EP Everything Goes Away.[2] The band currently consists of vocalist John Floreani, bassist and backing vocalist Jeremy Winchester, rhythm guitarist Kevin Cross, lead guitarist Andrew Hallett, and drummer Blake Caruso. Callum Cramp was their drummer up until he announced his departure from the band[3] on November 8, 2017, shortly after the release of their single "Hurt," which was ranked #135 on Triple J's Hottest 100.[4]
History
Trophy Eyes formed in 2013. Since then, they have released three full length albums: Mend, Move On, Chemical Miracle, and The American Dream, one extended play, Everything Goes Away, and a demo, Demo 2013. They have also released a single called "Tired Hearts" in September of 2015. In just under a year after the release of Everything Goes Away, they released their first full length album, Mend, Move On. The band has performed on the 2015 and 2017 Vans Warped Tour[5] on the Hard Rock stage and Full Sail stage. At Warped Tour 2015, they shared a stage with bands like Emarosa, Have Mercy, Knuckle Puck, and Palisades. At Warped Tour 2017, they played alongside bands such as Knocked Loose, Boston Manor, and Movements. They have also toured the United Kingdom with Welsh band Neck Deep, American band Knuckle Puck and Canadian band Seaway on the Intercontinental Championships Tour. This tour lasted from 26 January to 6 February. [6] In Winter 2017, the band embarked on their first US headlining tour with support from Free Throw, Grayscale, and Head North, lasting from 24 November to 17 December. Blake Caruso filled in for drums on this tour before officially joining the band.
Demo 2013 was released on 8 April, 2013. It consists of two songs, "Chacho" and "Personal Taste."[7] Everything Goes Away has five songs and it was written about a period of his life during which he lived in his high school town prior to moving to Newcastle. It was released on 29 April, 2014.[8] There are two singles from that EP: "Hourglass" and "Bandaid." Their debut album, Mend, Move On, was released on 4 November, 2014 under Hopeless Records.[9] From this album, three singles were released: "In Return," "White Curtains," and "Penfold State Forest." On 28 September of 2015, they released a separate single called "Tired Hearts." Both "Tired Hearts" and Mend, Move On were recorded at Karma Sound Studios in Thailand with Shane Edwards.[10] The sophomore album that blew up, Chemical Miracle, released on 14 October, 2016, and it featured three singles: "Chlorine," "Heaven Sent," and "Breathe You In." They premiered music videos for "Chlorine" and "Breathe You In."[11] Like their other album, this one was also recorded in Thailand.[12] "Hurt" was released to the public on 8 November, 2017.[13] On the 29 of May, 2018, "You Can Count On Me," the first single from the band's third album, The American Dream, was released.
