TREPID Trepid is a 4-piece high-energy hard rock band that originated in October 2008. Based out of Bossier City, La., Trepid’s writing and musical influences include Black Sabbath, Kiss, STP, Godsmack, Led Zeppelin and everything in between that is rock-n-roll. Brian Young is the formally trained guitarist for Trepid. He studied under Tony Bucci, the guitarist for the Lawrence Welk Band. Brian is also a classically trained guitarist who most notably played with local bands Cactus and Noise Merchants. Noise Merchants received radio airplay with “Love, Hate, Jaded”. Brian blends his own unique playing style with his influences that produce what can only be called an unforgettable array of guitar heaven!! After several years of line-up changes with Noise Merchants, especially with bass players, Brian asked his friend of 20 plus years David Gorman to play bass in Noise Merchants. David answered with a thundering yes and brought with him a wide range of influences, distinct bass playing style, huge stage presence, and attitude. When Brian and David’s drummer decided not to play music altogether, an ad was placed on bandmix.com. Within a week Jared Walters answered the ad as a prospective drummer. Jared brought a diverse knowledge of musical styles such as rock, country and metal to the table. Jared started off playing old school country with his dad. After several false starts with lead singers an ad was placed on craigslist.com under the “musicians wanted” column. After several e-mails Lana Rothlisberger was asked to come and try out for Brian, David, and Jared’s latest project. This was to be the beginning of Trepid! From the first note Lana sang, all the guys could do was stand in awe with their mouths wide open. Lana brought an incredible voice, attitude, look, and style that lit a fire into what was becoming a stagnant project. Lana has an in your face voice, look, and modern sound that will knock your socks off and keep you coming back for more! In August 2009, Trepid released its debut CD "Showdown at the Double D Ranch". What does TREPID sound like? Like a mix of old school heavy rock blended with a modern sound reminiscent of Godsmack, Pantera, Kiss and Black Sabbath riffs. This killer debut CD has lyrical content that gets stuck in your head like a good Nirvana song. Throw in artists like Saliva, Theory of a Deadman, Halestorm and Evanescence and you have Trepid. "Showdown at the Double D Ranch" blends a huge love of all rock-n-roll music with their influences into an album full of thrills and surprises that will remind you of what's to come in our near future and what we lived through in the past. "Showdown at the Double D Ranch" is one of those rare albums where you can listen to all the songs on the disc and wonder why they didn't just keep going like "Back in Black" and "Appetite for Destruction". You'll listen to this album over and over. Trepid can only be described as addictive!!!! Trepid has entertained at such venues as The Riverside Warehouse, Mojo’s, Lil’ Joes, The Blue Monkey and Cadillac Jack’s. They have shared the stage with great bands such as Self-Illusion, The Event Horizon, Rockhouse, South of Heaven, Dorian’s Fall and national act Motley Crude (Uncrowned). Trepid can be a killer opening act for any national touring band or an even better headliner for your event. Plus, you won’t find and easier band to work with. Trepid is looking to get in your head with their music and be the band that people talk about long after the show is over.
