The Union Trade: cinematic post-rock


Everyday Including

artist photo Formed in San Francisco in the spring of 2006, The Union Trade consists of Don Joslin (guitar), Nate Munger (bass/vocals), Eric Salk (guitar /vocals), and Dan Rodkewich (drums).

In early 2007, The Union Trade's debut release, Now The Swell EP (Tricycle), offered the first concrete proof of the band's potential. Now The Swell earned The Union Trade early accolades for its tight, emotional, and confident take on the post-rock genre.

The Union Trade's first full-length release, Everyday Including (Tricycle), is a carefully crafted, and ambitious album that captures the band's cinematic post-rock sound in grand, epic form as they bridge the gap between their instrumental-band inspirations, and a more vocals focused indie rock sound. This accomplished and cinematic album explores both sonic and human emotion as The Union Trade move in sweeping lines from dark and delicate beauty to soaring, triumphant peaks. Heavy, distorted guitars awash in delay are lifted by driving rhythms to create expansive melodies and lush textures anchored by the spare, evocative lyrics that narrate these songs with scenes of struggle and hope.
