Trash Talk Refuse to Stand Around and Do Nothing, Are Incredibly Cool

Trash Talk‘s Los Angeles doesn’t look like anyone else’s Los Angeles. Yeah, their favorite tattoo artist is an animator for a Nickelodeon show, and yes, their skyline is the same skyline. But in Trash Talk’s Los Angeles, everyone’s skating and stage-diving instead of drinking smoothies and driving expensive cars. In a new mini-documentary, “Tough as Leather,” the band takes viewers behind the scenes to their practice space/creative compoud, and singer Lee Spielman talks about breaking his kneecaps in Japan, hanging with a restlessly creative crew, and keeping the same mindset of the band that used to play house shows for an audience of one person. The takeaway: Trash Talk are really fucking cool, and their LA sounds way better than this Hollywood place we keep hearing about on TV. Check out the full video segment below:
