 "Two brothers, two guitars, two larger than life voices"
- American Songwriter
 

Canada’s THE TREWS completed their US RESIDENCY TOUR in the tail end of 2011 as they continue touring behind Hope & Ruin, their fourth full-length studio album.  Feedback was amazing and the quartet doubled the crowd every week in each room they played. Now they're coming back Stateside in January to hit the markets they missed.

“It is safe to say the crowd would have stood there and sung back all night if the band had played on. It’s hard to say they left them wanting more, as it’s hard to think of what more one could want in a rock ’n’ roll show.”

“Eschewing anything indie or edgy, this Canadian quartet pounds out frills-free rock and power-pop with no pretensions…
The songs are tough, the music is tight.”
— Hal Horowitz, CREATIVE LOAFING
“Saturday at Uncle Slayton’s, sounds reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Petty filled the halls as The Trews plugged in and rocked out.  Playing to a full house”
 Allison Ray, LOUISVILLE.com

"The Trews could do no wrong and their catchy songs whipped the crowd up into a rock and roll frenzy! The Trews provided an exciting, unforgettable rock and roll experience for all those lucky enough to be in attendance."
— Buffalo Music Blog

Earlier this summer, NY Press was blown away by a rare NYC appearance and American Songwriter hosted an acoustic session by the guys in their Nashville offices.  Twangville calls Hope & Ruin, “A collection of rock anthems filled with blaring electric guitars and tight harmonies” andMetal Odyssey named Hope & Ruin the #1 Rock Album of 2011, exclaiming, "The Trews just don’t bang-it-out on this album, they play the song and take you on an escalator of Rock."

“The songs all creep up on you, rather than being over-the-top.  What they will ensure is that you’ll want to go back and check them out again and again.”
Malcolm Dome, Classic Rock Magazine

"The band is too good for fans of great music not to enjoy. You’ll find songs on this album that you’ll love your years, we can guarantee you that."
Alternative Addiction
"The Trews' strength is in the hooky rock that dominates the set list...  They nimbly balance between commercial pop and tougher rock without falling into either camp.”
 - Hal Horiowitz, All Music

“What impresses on Hope & Ruin is how they excel equally at big rave-ups and swoonier slow numbers, raising and lowering the volume and weaving together strong harmonies to suit each track to a tee, a feat made all the more impressive by the album’s live-off-the-floor recording tactic.”
Dennis Cook, Dirty Impound

“The Trews is a refreshing blast of modern pop rock. Producing good hooks just seems to be in the very fabric of this band’s DNA and there’s no shortage of excellent songs to mine from the dozen on their latest, Hope and Ruin."  
Bill Sullivan, The Rock and Roll Report

“Big riffs, bigger hooks, anthemic choruses-Canadian alt-rockers The Trews bring all of that and more”
Guitar Edge Magazine
