With\u00a0\u2018Gimme 5!\u2019<\/a>\u00a0we take a peek into the collections of artists we admire. The premise is simple: artists WE like share 5 records THEY love. Trevor Lake has been poppin’ up in different capacities since we started this website. We covered his work with Sweet Pete<\/a>, The Shine<\/a>, Danny’s Favorites<\/a> and Televisionaries<\/a>. So yeah, to say we are fans of the music of Trevor Lake is an understatement. Two things stand out with Lake.\u00a0 One: whatever style he plays, whether it’s punk, surf or rock-‘n’-roll, it sounds very authentic, pure and true to its origins – making him the perfect candidate for a Gimme 5. Two: he makes it look all so easy and effortless. [post continues below]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are particularly looking forward to his debut LP with Televisionaries. In that band, he is joined by his two brothers Austin and Brendan and best friend Aaron Mika. The Lake brothers grew up writing songs and playing music together from a young age. Punk music and skateboarding was the main inspiration early on, but eventually the boys fell in love with surf music and other early rock-‘n’-roll styles. And you can tell from the music and aesthetics of the band.<\/p>\n Televisionaries’ killer 2021 single Charlotte Beach<\/em><\/a> shows that the band has perfected that surfrock-‘n’-roll sound by now. Hints of greatness were revealed earlier though, for example in the pop-perfect Over & Out<\/a><\/em> and the throwback r’n’r of Ram-A-Lam-A<\/a><\/em>. The band also released an EP with Bloodshot Bill<\/a>. Time for the next step: a full-length called Mad About You<\/em>, which will be out April 1 on LP through Nutone Records (a division of Hi-Tide Recordings). Based on the first single – the title track, it’s going to be great. Watch the video below.<\/p>\n
