TRACE REMAINS

Trace Remains sonic auteur Joey Vesely has spent two decades sharpening his melodic post-hardcore vision, and recruiting the right people for the cause. In previous bands, Vesely and his bandmates have toured the country, and worked with legendary Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty. They’ve also played in beloved bands within Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s vibrant DIY scene, centered around the non-profit co-op venue The Mr. Roboto Project. 

The quintet’s critically-acclaimed debut album, Leverage the Tides, tracked at Pittsburgh’s iconic The Church Recording Studio, and co-produced by the band with its longtime producer Dave Hidek (Paul Luc, Zao, The Clarks) including Ladygunn, Earmilk, Grimy Goods, Rival Magazine, Germany’s Kaltblut Magazine, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Spain’s META with New Noise Magazine has gushing that Trace Remains sounds “if Dave Grohl took over as Fugazi’s frontman.”

Trace Remains formed in 2017. Sonically the group mines the frenetic artiness of post-hardcore; the moodiness of post-punk; and the tunefulness of alt-rock and indie-rock. Nestled within the group’s roiling aggression are earworm melodies—traces of the band’s Beatles obsession—and Vesely’s insightfully observational lyrics.On the new EP, Zero Hour due July 17 deepens into what Vesely calls an “epic emotional journey,” capturing the moment after everything breaks, when the past is still close, the future is unclear, and there is still a road ahead.
