History
editJimmy Ryan, a member of Haste the Day, at the time, decided to depart the band, when they were in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 30, 2005, doing a concert, where he is a native of the city. The group was formed, when Ryan selected Joel David Lauver to be a guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist, Eli Larch Chastain to be a guitarist, Bill Scott to be a bassist, and Phil Hook to be their drummer.
Trenches commenced as a musical entity, in 2007, with their first studio album, The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole, that released on September 16, 2008, by Solid State Records.[2][3][4] Their first concert occurred in the city of Noblesville, Indiana, on November 24, 2007. The band's national debut was during a performance at the Cornerstone Festival, the subsequent year. Trenches was to perform, in 2009, at the same festival, yet they were replaced on the lineup listing.[5][6]
The band announced their hiatus in 2010 before getting back together in early 2012. The band released one more full-length album, Reckoner, before they split up again in 2023.
