BAND BIO
Trestles is an independent beach rock project from Santa Cruz, California. The band is comprised of Hunter Kelly (vocals/guitar), Jackson Jones (guitar/vocals), Sophia Wall (bass/vocals), and Malena Clark (drums/vocals). Formed out of the ashes of Jones and Kelly’s garage rock project Speedwalker, Trestles developed a fun surf inspired indie rock sound with the release of their debut single Dwell. In 2021, the band began a rampant series of D.I.Y. shows in the Santa Cruz circuit becoming a common name at UCSC parties and house shows.
In 2022, Trestles started releasing new music with the full band leading up to the release of their first LP. The single Rip Curl Sweatshirt, became their biggest hit through Spotify playlist features. Through this the band built a loyal local following and became a Santa Cruz mainstay at venues like The Catalyst and Urbani’s Cellar. Trestles first full length album Halfway Up The Hill was released in December of 2022.
The self-produced debut went on to garner over 500,000 streams on Spotify prompting the band to hit the road. After playing massive support sets for Movements, Scowl, and Destroy Boys, the band embarked on their first west coast run. In 2023, the band went on an 8 date tour with Mom Cars and Career Woman further establishing themselves as one of California's up-and-comers. The tour concluded in November with a support set for Sun Room, Trestles biggest show yet.
