The Living Trash - Official Website

OVERVIEW

The Living Trash have spent more than 15 years pursuing one goal, and one goal only - the creation of bad music, terrible tunes, the kind of organized sound which sends children running away in fear and disgust. Moderate success has been achieved - already TLT is one of the top five bad-music groups hailing from Merrill, Wisconsin - but there is still much to do.

You can help spread the music and concept of TLT - the only way this awfulness can expand is through grassroots involvement. Download our MP3s and play them for every single friend or family member you have. They will thank you later, specifically in 2010, when the music industry as we know it finally dies upon the startling realization that making "good" music is in fact greatly evil, and has been the underlying cause of human suffering for several millenia...
