SOME KIND WORDS about our latest release "Wanna be like you" EP from The Trash Templars

In English:
Some nice words from Todd on 3hive.
A track by track recap of what the TRASH TEMPLARS are all about on 50thirdand30rd.
Want To Be Like You:
There is this loudmouth-jock everyone knows. And for some deranged reason everybody loves him. I really don’t know why. This one’s for him!
Whiplash:
This one is about sexual frustration from the female point of view. But she takes matters in her own hands. She’s a hard hitter!
Wanna Know
The female point of view, again. The woman is attracted to someone who really isn’t a treat to look at. A face only a mother could love. But it’s the inner values that count, right? She does not really know how to cope with the situation. Hence the title.
Lady In Red
You’re more or less hammered. You’re out in town and the last two drinks were four drinks too much. Then you approach a girl and try to get her coming with you. But, no surprise here, you fail miserably.

In German:
The Trash Templars – Want to be like you EP
Eine der besten EPs die ich dieses Jahr gehört habe! Ich ärgere mich extrem sie in meiner Zeit in Bielefeld nicht einmal live auf irgendeinem Wohnungskonzert oder einem der etwas griffigeren Kneipen gesehen zu haben. Die Chance hätte es gegeben! The Trash Templars treten, wie man auf den Fotos sehen kann, in von Mutti handgenähten Müllritterkostümen auf und hinterlassen eine der eingeranntesten und unzumutbarsten Bühnen, weil sie ihr Antiagressionstraining im Vatikan nicht mitgemacht haben. Die Mischung aus Punk und Garage lässt dir auch nichts anderes übrig als die Fäuste zu schwingen, zu pogen und besoffen die Texte mitzugröhlen. Sie sind einfach herrlich! Kopfsalat

In Japanese:
バンド名を体現したハリボテのテンプル騎士団員に扮したルックスで 60's Punk 影響下 Raw Rockin' アプローチでぶっ飛ばす Bielefeld (Nordrhein-Westfalen) を拠点に活動する現行 German Killer Three-Chord Garage Punk 新鋭グループ The Trash Templars が Kuriosa Records よりリリースした 2015 年の 4 曲入りデビュー 7"EP 作品が入荷!!! 小賢しい理屈の通じない問答無用 60's Teen Punk 経由 + ピュア度の高い Frenzied Garage Punk アプローチで潔く突っ走るシンプルなスタイルが好感度大、此れが単独デビュー作ながらも激しくラウドかつ毛羽立ったノイジーなプロダクションやバンド全体の疾走感、怒りが滲んだワイルドなスクリームも文句無しの充実振りで 7" フォーマットがばっちりハマった好リリースとなっております。イタリアの The Rippers や同レーベルからリリースのあるオランダの The No-Goods 更には 90 年代後半にサクラメントで活動した The Trouble Makers 辺りが好きな方は是非!!! 【新入荷/2015/12/13】 Nat´s
