Trapped Under Ice

About

Trapped Under Ice isn't just a hardcore band; it's a Baltimore institution forged in the crucible of basement shows and unwavering DIY ethics. Frontman Justice Tripp leads the charge, spitting visceral lyrics over a relentless sonic assault that draws heavily from NYHC legends like Madball and Agnostic Front, while simultaneously nodding to the metallic edge of bands like Integrity and Merauder. TUI emerged from the fertile Baltimore hardcore scene in the mid-2000s, quickly gaining a reputation for their intense live performances and uncompromising attitude. Their breakthrough came with albums like "Secrets of the World" (2009) and "Big Kiss Goodnight" (2011), solidifying their position as a leading force in the new wave of hardcore. TUI carved out a unique niche by blending brutal breakdowns with melodic hooks, creating anthems that resonate with disenfranchised youth. Known for their commitment to authenticity and anti-establishment stance, Trapped Under Ice remains a beacon for those seeking raw, unfiltered hardcore. After a period of relative inactivity, they've resurfaced in recent years, playing select shows and hinting at new material, proving that the ice hasn't melted, but rather hardened.
