Trash Kit is a British post-punk trio formed in 2008 in London. Its members are Rachel Aggs (guitar and vocals), Ros Murray (bass guitar), and Rachel Horwood (drums and vocals).[1]

Ros Murray was previously of the band Electrelane. Rachel Aggs has gone on to play in Sacred Paws, and Shopping, and Rachel Horwood in Halo Halo, Bamboo, and Bas Jan (the latter also featuring Serafina Steer).

They have been compared to UK punk and post punk acts like The Slits, the Raincoats, and the Au Pairs, as well as noting the West African highlife influence on Aggs' guitar lines.[2] Trash Kit themselves listed early influences as Y Pants, Ikue Mori of DNA, and Marnie Stern.[3]

History

Rachel Aggs and Rachel Horwood met at The Here Shop in Bristol in 2007 and had been in a couple of bands together prior to forming Trash Kit.[3]

Upset The Rhythm asked them to record for their label immediately after seeing them play for the first time at the 'Yes Way' festival UTR had put on.[3][4]

They released two albums, Trash Kit (2010) and Confidence (2014), and a single on London label Upset The Rhythm all to critical acclaim.[1][5][2][6][7]

In May 2017 Thurston Moore highlighted them as a band one should know about in an article on the NME's website.[8]
