Biography
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!
Notable gigs include opening for SNFU, Trigger Effect, the Great Sabatini, Ninjaspy, Sons of Butcher, and the Womb.

Trivia
- 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
