The trade winds are not known for their impetuous temper. All the more important for their significance is their persistence and the fact, that a captain sailing the trade winds will reach his designated goal faster than the rest. Therefor Trade Wind couldn't possibly have picked a more appropriate bandname. While the individual members (living scattered all over North America) focus on intense Hardcore with their respective main bands Stick To Your Guns, Stray From The Path and Structures, Trade Wind emphasizes the prefix ,Post" as well as a constant musical flow, rather than short outbursts. Spirited anger gives way to extensive soundscapes, subtle melodies and a soulful melancholy, which is based on the inner turmoil of singer und guitarist Jesse Barnett (after the breakup of his last relationship). However, the outstanding Posthardcore-band (not only alphabetically adjacent to bands like Thursday and Thrice) almost didn't come to life. ,The idea of Trade Wind started in 2011 when Tom's and my bands were on tour together." Barnett, who usually lets out his frustration as the singer of Stick To Your Guns. ,It wasn't meant to be anything more than our own private little project. Because we lived on opposite sides of the country we did almost everything through email." What proves to be a stumbling block for other acts, turned out to be an advantage for the allstar-project, which also features drummer Andrew McEnany from Structures and bass player Randy LeBoeuf next to Barnett and Tom Williams.
