“Prepare for Trauma, Make it Drama”

TraumaCheez is a music project based in San Francisco, and led by the indie musician and singer-songwriter Hill Lu. They deliver a potent mix of Alternative Rock, Punk and Pop originals with a darkly humorous yet emotional lyrical edge. Fronted by an energetic, belty vocalist with skillful instrumentalists, their dynamic live sets and undeniable stage energy have been steadily building their reputation in the local scenes.

Sonic references: Paramore, Wolf Alice, St. Vincent, Metric, The Cranberries, Muse, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Sundays.

The band was featured on bff.fm, where they discussed the creation of their material and the El Rio gig. Full interview: https://bff.fm/broadcasts/49428 (interview starts ~30’00”).
