Formed in March 2008, Trench Foot is a shitshow rock comedy act with a heavy hardcore punk influence. Known for blistering drum beats, guttural screams, and a large emphasis on power chords, Trench Foot was a fixture at known Thunder Bay underground venue Disgraceland. Many of their songs carry a humorous overtone, with lyrical topics ranging from facial hair to rampant drinking to true stories of band members urinating on furniture. With three fifths of the band being alcoholics and the other two being giant potheads, Trench Foot consistently weirds out any touring band they open for whether it's through their extreme drunkeness, goofy stage presence, or Tomsin having a plain ol' heart attack. New full-length album when it's ready!

==Trivia==
  
−
Trench Foot first started when Jimmy and TomSin were drunk at Disgraceland and thought Trench Foot was a cool band name. Jimmy asked Scratch if he wanted in and TomSin asked Micro if he wanted in and Trench Foot was formed. Around July 2008 Jimmy had to go on tour with Faceless Hulk and was originally supposed to be replaced by Brette, but TomSin left for Winnipeg for a bit and she replaced Scratch who replaced TomSin. When TomSin returned she became their second guitar player. Jimmy was temporarily replaced by [[Morgan Hamelin]] while he was on tour.
+
* Was the first musical act ever to perform at the [[Black Pirates Pub]]
 +
* [[Morgan Hamelin]], [[Brette Little]], and [[Lazer]] have all handled bass duties at one time or another when [[Jimmy Laukka]] is on tour with [[Faceless Hulk]] or just too lazy to come out and play a show
 +
* Another unoffical member of the band, [[Scotia-leigh Waddell]] sang backup for the June 3, 2008 shows at [[Kilroys]] and [[The Office]] and sometimes at [[Disgraceland]]
 +
* [[Sean Madigan]] handled lead vocals whenever [[Tomsin]] would sporadically leave town. The song "Finish Your Coffee And Fuck Off Somewhere" is about the last time [[Tomsin]] left for Montreal before being ejected from the band (he ended up in Toronto for some reason)
 +
* [[Travis Doggett]] and [[Andy Middaugh]] filled in for [[Tomsin]] the night after he was banned from Kilroy's for the [["Great Scrotum Fire"]] incident
