TRNDS - Love, If You Want It
TRNDS have crafted a track that lingers long after the final note. "Love If You Want It" hooks listeners with a sharp, infectious guitar riff that feels like something Franz Ferdinand might have dropped at their peak—a perfect blend of indie edge and dancefloor energy.
Yet, beneath the toe-tapping exterior lies a deeply emotional core. Tackling the difficult subject of losing someone to suicide, the lyrics navigate the raw pain, unanswered questions, and enduring heartache faced by those left behind. It’s a powerful exploration that doesn’t just stay at the surface but delves into the complexities of grief and healing.
TRNDS use "Love If You Want It" as a platform to challenge harmful norms like “boys don’t cry,” urging listeners to embrace vulnerability. The message is clear: sharing your struggles is not a burden—it’s a lifeline. They’d rather hear your story than your eulogy.
In support of this vital message, TRNDS have released a T-shirt to accompany the single, with all profits going to the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). Check out their social media channels for details on how to grab a T-shirt and support this important cause.
If you want to experience their music live, TRNDS will be playing at SWG3 in Glasgow on February 22nd. With their ability to balance musical brilliance and emotional depth, it’s a show you won’t want to miss.
TRNDS aren’t just making music—they’re making a difference. Don’t just listen; get involved.
