Trampoline

Trampoline is a charismatic anti-rock outfit that was founded in the summer of 2014. At the band's helm is the idiosyncratic and evocative songwriting of Michelle Lecnik (guitarist & vocalist) and the whip-smart interplay between Steve Martens (drums, vocals) and Joey Penner (bass, vocals) . The musical arrangements are cinematic and percussive, blending styles of punk, indie rock and prog. The band explores the highs and lows of the human experience while making you bounce through it all. 
In 2019, Trampoline released 'Happy Crimes'- a rock musical that explores the imaginings and feelings of a man anticipating the apocalypse amidst the tensions of his nightmares, political preoccupations and personal traumas. The album's contents drew largely from Michelle's life as inspiration.
In 2020 Trampoline released a live single entitled Escher (live) which was inspired by a conversation MC Escher once had about having a huge garden on his property to create distance between himself, & the rest of humanity.
Trampoline’s latest release “All the People in this House” explores themes of tyranny, the degradation of nature and the collapse of western civilization in the wake of an emerging new paradigm of unconditional love and interdependence. The album plays with the perspectives of real and imagined characters who have challenged the status quo throughout history, from Socrates to Erin Brockovitch to Ted Kaczynski to Judas Iscariot to comedian Jessa Reed.
