Trevor Leonard (Triangle Shirt Factory) and JD Perry (selfhelpme) have long and intertwined history. As Greater Philadelphia natives, both thrived as vital members of the area's punk rock scene since the late nineties. Trevor started the melodic space punk band Procession Came Opposite and is an active member of the folk-rock trio The End of America and rock outfit Punchline, and JD is a founding member of the iconic pop-punk group Valencia.

The split 7" has long been a staple in the punk rock community. This one, in particular, celebrates two artists who have used their musical roots to delve into new territories. With Triangle Shirt Factory, Leonards blends Americana, rock and reggae to create an unparalleled folk style. By channeling an emotionally charged fusion of blues, folk and rock, Perry crafts a poetic pairing of the beautiful and dark via selfhelpme. This split represents where the two artists have been and where they are, while offering a glimpse of where they're going.

To celebrate the split's debut, Triangle Shirt Factory and selfhelpme will be playing a release show August 23, 2016 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia. You can get tickets here: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1271079

Music Is My Therapy

The kind people over at praiseforwallflower.com are featuring TSF. Check it out here and leave a comment.

In youtube news, this week’s video is the song "M.I.M.T." from the Hello ep. It is about, very simply, the therapeutic nature of music. I wrote this song in my college dorm in Pittsburgh about 6 years ago when I was going through a tough time. I just thought, “It’s my way of getting through things. Music is my therapy.”

There’s something primal and soothing about a melodic voice, the vibrations of strings, rhythmic percussions…

What is your therapy? What about it calms you?
