Soul's Waves of Grain: While Trent is more than capable at playing guitar, his lyrical structure is inane, with simplistic rhymes and verses that make little sense to the song he is performing. (I'm glad your happy/watching my pain/burning crop circles/on my soul's waves of grain) This manner of performance tends to cause confusion to all that hear it.
Biography:
His parents allowed Trent, like all their children, to do as he pleased in his youth. A few quirks of his childhood were living in a tent for six months, and having gone through an ‘orange skin phase’.
He's been to Lane family reunions before, and he is horrified by the prospect of any more of them. He is particularly irritated by Uncle Max Lane, a heavy drinker who says he likes Trent because he reminds him of himself, i.e: "You're a BUM! You're a lousy BUM!". Trent appears to have heard this speech several times.
Trent first met Jesse Moreno at age 12, during the summer. They took hold of Trent's dad's old acoustic guitars and formed many bands ("'Wax Lypps,' 'Indyan Burn,' and occasionally 'Boa Constryctyr'"), playing angst-driven power pop and Weird Al Yankovic covers for family and friends. They decide to turn electric when they realized that it would be louder.
During his time Lawndale High School, Trent was scheduled for some classes alongside Tommy Sherman, though like the football player he "may have missed a few classes". He met Max Tyler at school after advertising for a drummer, and the three played "trance punk" in basements throughout their teen years. He knew Timothy O'Neill and once wrote "Down With The Man" on the teacher's car. Trent missed his own graduation.
During his school days, Trent once had a summer job at Lawndale Diner - he wrote a song about it.
After graduation, after which point he met Nick Campbell, Trent's "career" involves fronting the Spiral and writing lyrics. With the Spiral he mainly plays brew pubs and grunge clubs though they have been known to play high school house parties for the right price and even a child’s birthday party to get out of a ticket. He’s never known to have been formally employed in a conventional job but once wrote a jingle for Happy Herb's used cars in exchange for twenty bucks, an hour of studio time and a set of new tires; this was a deep, dark secret he didn't want anybody knowing.
For reasons he doesn't ever want to talk about and sounds angry about, he "can't" step foot in a bookstore.
He has a girlfriend called Monique, who is also in a band; the two break up and get back together on a regular basis. The two of them used to be in a band together.
He accepts that he’ll probably end up a townie playing Doors covers but at least he’s doing what he loves now and that’s all that matters.
