Ahhh the trash panda, perhaps the most mischievous of all critters. Who really knows what these little devils are up to? One day they are minding their own business, presumably in a tree. The next they are rummaging through your garbage cans, hauling away the day’s best finds without even apologizing. Not only is trash panda an accurate descriptor for raccoons - it’s also a certified awesome name for an anti-conformist band. Trash Panda (the band, not the animal) was founded by a group of free-spirited Atlanta locals who met on CraigsList and started having jam sessions in their garage. Much like their namesake critters, the band sports an apathetic demeanor in general and specifically towards typical rock norms. They’ll often infuse pop-punk and even psychedelic sounds into their songs, guiding the listener on journey that is equal parts ethereal and deviant. Frankly, we couldn’t find a ton of information on the band, so here’s a video of some trash panda’s sneaking into a bank and eating cookies … you read that right, they robbed a bank and didn’t even steal the money! Total trash panda move.
