Trash release new vinyl single Matter Of Time for RSD 2025. 47 years after their last single, cult rockers Trash are back! To follow their 1978 single N-N-E-R-V-O-U-S, Trash release a freshly recorded song Matter Of Time as a vinyl 7” in time for Record Store Day. A-side of the single is Matter Of Time (Ballad Of Trash 13.07.24), B side is Matter Of Time (Tin and Tambourine version).

The drive, power and catchiness of the A side is reminiscent of The Clash Give ‘Em Enough Rope era, whilst the more mellow B side has a Ronnie Lane vibe.

Said Alan Mair of The Only Ones “great tune, vocals and lyrics, and the guitar solo is right up my street. And I like the acoustic version as well.”

Trash never achieved the success predicted by the pop pages of The Reading Chronicle, despite being signed to Polydor and being produced by the late Shel Talmy (Who, Kinks) and Nigel Gray (Police, Siouxsie). Guitarist and songwriter Mick Brophy has produced a song that sends out a message of hope to ageing rockers of all haircuts. Drummer Simon Butler-Smith had not played for the last 38 years (kit stored at his mums) but recorded his parts in a single take. Vocalist Simon Wright has spent the lost decades making chocolate and is inexplicably an adviser to the government on organic food.
