After igniting the scene in January 2024 with their electrifying single “Agent Mayhem,” indie punk quintet HIPPIE TRIM is set to announce their new EP, “Morbid Orbit.” Scheduled for release digitally and on limited vinyl via Supervillain on May 31st, the EP promises to be a compelling addition to their discography.
With the release of “Falling Down,” the band offers another high-octane track that delves into the existential struggle against time and societal conformity. Commenting on the track, HIPPIE TRIM remarked, “‘Falling Down’ encapsulates the relentless battle against the passage of time and the societal pressures to conform.”
Renowned for their distinctive sound, HIPPIE TRIM enlisted the expertise of Jon Markson (DRUG CHURCH, DRAIN, SOUL BLIND) and Adam Chichoki (CASEY, KOYO, LIKE PACIFIC) for mixing and mastering, continuing a successful collaboration that began with their 2022 studio album, “What Consumes Me.”
Adding to their excitement, HIPPIE TRIM will also be hitting the road in April to support Australian band Trophy Eyes on tour, with dates spanning across Germany and Italy. The tour kicks off on April 14th in Cologne, Germany, and concludes on April 21st in Wiesbaden, Germany (see full tour dates below).
Reflecting on their journey so far, HIPPIE TRIM’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Following the success of their debut single “Supersonic,” the band quickly gained momentum, selling out their first show and subsequently joining DRUG CHURCH on their German tour. Their debut album, “Cult,” showcased a unique fusion of heaviness and melody, earning them acclaim from both fans and critics.
Despite a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, HIPPIE TRIM returned with a vengeance in 2022, earning praise from international media outlets such as BrooklynVegan for their sophomore album, “What Consumes Me.” Their dynamic live performances have seen them share stages with esteemed acts like FLESHWATER, NARROW HEAD, and TURNSTILE, solidifying their status as one of the genre’s most promising talents.
As anticipation mounts for the release of “Morbid Orbit” and their upcoming tour with Trophy Eyes, HIPPIE TRIM continues to captivate audiences with their raw energy and infectious melodies, cementing their place at the forefront of the indie punk scene.
