"I first discovered TRUBADOR on MySpace Music and the first song I listened to was "Another Life". I played this song a few times because I was blown away that a Metal/Grunge (whatever) rock band were performing a song that both confirmed and articulated my own experiences and general outlooks on life. There was something magical, real and potent about this song that I was in a bit of a daze for some time. Trubador had struck me in places that only I had dared to venture in my mind and I wanted to hear and know more about them." "I, too, watched all their videos on YouTube as each one brought a humility, rawness and realness to a music ‘genre’ that in the minds of many would still be perceived as "tough" or "hard" and the like. Don’t misunderstand me here, as Bon Scott informed us - "it’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n’ roll" and to travel that road requires a toughness that is rarely developed, let alone present, by so many who dare tread it. But beyond all that it requires vision and confidence to embark on the journey Trubador has set course for themselves - I said confidence, not arrogance and did I mention humility?" "In my opinion Trubador are the finest three-piece rock band to have emerged since Nirvana and are deserving of as much support they can get. I’ll tell you this, it will take a courageous band to offer Trubador a supporting gig or concert because unless the main act is as authentic, real, competent and capable as Trubador they may very well find themselves taking a back seat. Having said that, Marcoe (guitar/vocals), Criss (drums) and Jaymes (bass) are more than capable of being the main act in their own right and they know it too. Not just that but fans and listeners of their work know that too, myself included." "I’m the very proud owner of a signed copy of Trubador’s debut album "Earth" and will confidently state that this album would take pride of place in any discerning music listener’s collection, rock or otherwise, simply because it is a rare and documented piece of gutsy, gritty, yet sublime rock containing songs that will leave deep impressions in the listener’s mind." "Today’s music scene and "Pop Culture" it general has become overly infatuated with the personalities behind the music and whilst this is interesting to a certain point sadly the phenomenon has become so absorbed in the players that the player’s music often becomes obscured in fantasy coloured over with a thick lick of gloss in the perception of the listeners; a coat of paint that were it to be stripped away all that would remain would be largely a dull, uninspiring, repetitive and shallow noise easily forgettable - unless one enjoys being absorbed in tedium. Fortunately, Trubador would never suffer this fate because if you are interested in the three brothers who make up Trubador then go and watch one of their many episodes documenting their day to day lives on YouTube. Not only are they engaging, intelligent and highly entertaining they are down to "Earth" and as real as your next door neighbour. One would have to be a complete automation not to take to these guys and in due corse totally warm to them as I have - and far from extracting any magic from their music by "knowing" them you will discover where some of the magic emanates from when you listen." "In closing I’d like to express my personal thanks to Trubador for injecting back into rock music that which the past decade or so (at least) has almost completely drained via that vampire of vanity and commercial greed - oh, and deaf music "executives".

hey i read ur description on ur channel, and i am wowed! u guys feel the same way about rock and music as i do! i too deeply and profoundly love rock music, it is my life. i hope to one day be doing the same as u, playing in a band! it may take a while to really discover my personal sound and time 4 the music industry to get back into the hard rockin stuff and not this radio family friendly mainstream piece of shit! but thats cool. i love rock and i love playing it. there is no greater feeling in life than to be on a stage 4 millions and doing something u love. no greater feeling than being able to express urself through music. no greater feeling to be rockin out and see the audience enjoying it! but what really cool is that u guys are grunge! YES!!! where has grunge gone? their were a bunch of great grunge bands back in the day! i feel grunge was short lived and didnt really get a chance to leave its legacy behind. thats why we need grunge again! bring it back, and this time make sure it lives on FOREVER! rock on dudes

Just flicked through a couple of your videos and I'm intrigued by your style and approach to expressing different facets of life - it's a very revealing take on the rock genre, not clichéd or contrived, simply honest and true to life. "Try in vain" is a brilliant tune in my opinion, almost seems to borrow certain stylistic conventions from Grunge, which is very appealing to me :) I shall continue to work my way through your work. Keep the creativity flowing :)

wow, usually the new bands now in days are all a? bunch of emo fags, but you guys fuckin ROCK! Thanks for the invite and keep it up! I know you guys are going to get famous if you keep it up.

Big thanks for subscribing,you guys must be TRUE fans of music. I have many,many different and divergent styles of music on my channel. Muchos Appreciados! (the title of KYUSS" greatest hits,like you didn't know). Gritty and grungy,I like it,real rock'n'roll. You cats can jive in live,but I bet if you were put in a studio the frontman's vocals would be even more? powerful and rugged! Thanks for the sub and add. See ya' later like Darth Vader.

You guys are great! Ur music is? so good! The lead singer reminds me of Zakk Wylde! (its a good thing). If you guys get really famous, I will so go to one of your concerts.

Oh man this shit is fucking mother fucking awesome! I love AiC! Also Nirvana of? course, and Staind. Yeah man, you are on of my favourite bands right fucking now!

I like this. The drums are the defining characteristic in this band. It all comes? together around that. Are you guys gonna be touring the US?

did i see a Kurt Cobain poster there? =P you guys shound...different...from other bands, there isnt a commercial tone tou your music ? I like your sound

I love the flavor of your songs. They have some good lines & messages, with enough angst built in. However, I would be remis if I just blew smoke up your proverbial orifice. You don't know me from Adam, but I would like to see a Nashville band succeed. I am hearing the same overall sound, and attitude from the guitar. I think it needs to have more tonal variety (different pedals, selector pickup switches, amps, amp settings, vary the model of guitar. This is evident in "Another Life" and "Try In Vain." Marcoe, this is not a slap to you. I'm just telling you what your bandmates should have. I hear that you are definately a player. I love the change of pace, rhythm and the drum intro on "The Crow". You guys sing well, and are adept at playing. Also, I realize that these songs are just demos, but are too the cernal of where you're headed musically. Hey, I would take what I've said with a grain of salt, if I were you. Just listen the songs as a group and be honest with yourselves. If you were going to tell this group something they could change for the better, what would it be? A fan, Reese & Co. (Mike)

just favorited this.....love everything about it..the music, the lyrics, the vocals, the video.....you guys? ROCK!!!!! AND KEEP DOING IT!!!

Cheers on your speech you've made in your profile, 's about time people would react to exploitation of music by those vampires of those main labels that care nothing or too less about their contracts's interest but only how to make as much money as possible. There should be more bands like yours and then finally the chirade of 'breaking through' in the world of music will be brought down forever, It's not the labels that allow a band to break through, it's US the people, and when the people like you then you don't need a stupid label to 'take care' of the other things, Keep up making your music and I'll keep check'n in to listen to it Cheers -501-

I checked out your little rant and it made me smile. It's no different over here though I think England's situation came from 'flooding the market'. A hundred pubs in a 10 mile radius with live music every night of the week in some parts of London. There just aren't enough fans to go round and being in a band is nothing special anymore. Everybody knows somebody who plays in a band, big deal. The talk over here is that 'live music is gonna save the industry' as no-one buys music anymore but I'm not holding my breath. If you're forced to give your music away for free, what does that tell the consumer.....that it isn't worth anything? The band I was in folded after 5 years because we just couldn't get anything going, too many bands everywhere, everyone too busy to come out, playing gigs with 6 other bands and 20 minute sets each, it was a bad joke.......check the film 'Bad News' by The Comic Strip if you can find it. So, now I just create for the pleasure of it and what ever will be will be. I was in Phoenix, Arizona a couple of weeks ago staying with friends, and the scene looked better there but not by much. I think these days people have too much choice, I was struggling with the tv channels you have over there let alone anything else ;) Anyways, good luck on journey and long live rock 'n' roll. Maybe something will change when they realise what they've lost!

Ironically, this song sounds very dark and groove heavy. Amazing song guys, I love the work that you do, hope to see you atleast once in my lifetime :)

Great sound. Nice to hear some new original rock. Been playin' drums for forty years and still love hard drivin' music. You guys will go far. Take care and good luck to all of you.

I was listening to your song "are you high enuogh" and it's a really good song with good riffs,but when you come in on the chorus theirs not much intensety on it.I think if you put a little more intensety on the chorus it would take the song to a whole nother level.Great song

"Another Life" is hypnotically awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We really enjoyed your music. You sound a lot like your influences, but we really felt you have a lot more "Tool" in you than you realize which is a sweet aspect to have

Just had to stop by and tell you guys how fucking awesome your shit is. Really like the darkness

Hey Guys! ... I see, you're true family!!.... Voice vocal is GREeeAt!!!!!.. Keep rockin

Strong and soft as the same time...... I dig it ! Congratulations Mister Marcoe.... beautiful voice

Likin' the tunes. Couldn't agree more about the record label comments on your bio. Lastly, you are so right, there is absolutely nothing like a live show! Kudos to you for trying your hardest to perfect that aspect of your craft! AC/DC is the ultimate live performance. "THAT'S THE WAY I WANNA ROCK 'N' ROLL" If you ever get to Vancouver BC I'll be there.

Thanks for the request! Excellent, metallic offerings! I enjoyed the listen! Keep Nashville metalized! Your new, "OLD" fan!

Such a great time to discover your fantastic sounds and videos... Really cool my friends

Nice sound, tough yet with feeling. I like the rough edges that peek through in spots....not at all commercialized and fruity. You have the sound of success about u.

I appreciate the request. Listened to your music, you are great. Nashville Tennessee is a great place to be from. Hope you hit it Big! Keep in touch. Maybe when I'm down that way will catch your show. Would Love to see ya live.

Honored to be among your circle of friends. You guys are excellent! Hope to catch a live show. Sounding good!

Yeah you guys are awsome, you remind me a little Bit Like Alice in chains, You should do a cover of one of their songs :]

Thanks for the friend invite. You guys definitely have some good ideas and I like the whole dark, dreary, vibe thing, however I would try and incorporate? a little more of a variety in your chord progressions. A lot of the songs seem to sound very similar. Your definitely a lot better than a lot of other bands out there. And I look forward to hearing some more new stuff! Peace out!

you should totally sell this song to apple or something make some serous cash

this song is amazing you guys rock. Your influences are the same as mine. Nirvana and AIC are my favorite bands of all time. Love it! keep up the good work!

Great song! I feel like this was inspired by "Rooster."

its just......incredible.......its ready for an album.....you guys will go far

you possess more talent then I'd expect from a group of only three guys. You def got my attention.
