Hailing from Dallas, Texas - Power Trip are a crossover thrash band that are unafraid to confront the current political and social environment with their lyrical content. In 2013 they released their first full-length Manifest Decimation and 4 years later released their latest album Nightmare Logic; with lyrics that challenge their listeners to question their actions, motives and political agendas in a time where it is easy to get desensitised with the horrors that occur around the world - thanks to the power of media. Their sound is a tight fast-paced thrash attack, showing influences from bands such as Cro-Mags, Sepultura, Discharge, Nuclear Assault, Obituary, Bolt Thrower and more...
Having played a sold-out show at the Bald Faced Stag in Sydney a few weeks ago, on their first Australian tour, Supply’s Shawn Yates asked Power Trip frontman - Riley Gale a few questions about his musical influences growing up in Texas.
Check out the conversation below...
Thanks Riley and Power Trip
