TRESTLES Release New Single “Esplanade”

August 15, 2025 – Indie rock band, Trestles are thrilled to release their last single “Esplanade” that is out now on all platforms. This is the third single they have released off their new album SALT to be released September 26^th.

Lead Vocalist Hunter says, “This was the first song written for SALT and I was in a really confident headspace during its writing. The verse lyrics are kinda stream-of-conscious style which was new for me. I just wanted to capture the feeling of stealing away moments with someone who means a lot to you. I don’t think it necessarily has to be romantic, but it certainly can be. Like a lot of my lyrics it’s meant to be open ended for the listener. It’s longing, but confident, and the music really makes me feel that way so it sits really well I think.”

Trestles in a beach rock project from Santa Cruz, California. Formed in 2021, the new band made a name for themselves playing in the college rock circuit during the major post-pandemic scene resurgence. While Trestles definitely allows the beach town aesthetic of Santa Cruz to seep into their music, the band is more interested in creating a sound that equally criticizes and celebrates west coast garage rock tradition. By finding a balance between the nostalgia of 1960’s musicianship and the accessibility of modern garage rock textures and pop sensibility, the band’s sound aims to be relentlessly rooted in the present. This attitude is delivered through sarcastic, yet aware lyrics that aim to make living in the moment feel like a study in social politics. Trestles’ music is plainly meant for whoever who wants to hear it.

After becoming a quintessential new band to look out for, Trestles released their first LP Halfway Up The Hill in 2022. Propelled by the success of local indie anthems Dwell  & Rip Curl Sweatshirt the band embarked on a couple of west coast runs, playing numerous sold out shows in college towns. In 2024, Trestles was recognized as Santa Cruz’s “Band of the Year” for their explosive live shows, solidifying them as one to watch.

Equipped with an expansive arsenal of road-tested songs, Trestles will be making unavoidable noise. Following the release of Postcard EP, this year will bring their anticipated sophomore album SALT and Western US Tour. See all tour dates below.
