Formed in 2011 by John Warren as a home recording project and later joined by his sister Jess Warren, The Tin Can Collective quickly grew into a full band collective along with permanent drummer Cass Kadow and a crew of other friends and musicians along the journey.
Moving into the present, the band has a new album out soon, with the fitting 2025 titled of The Thrill Is Gone And I Can’t Get It Back – out on Sept. 12, continuing their kitchen sink of DIY influences that cull from indie, emo, punk, and more in a fine balance that is both all of those genres, yet none of them at the same time.
Speaking of the new album, the group has a brand new single that Scene Point Blank has the honor of introducing: “Trouble”.
John Warren explains:
I spent much of my youth trying to rebel. I didn’t want a cookie-cutter existence. My twenties were spent traveling the country in beat-up vans, drinking 40s, playing sparsely attended shows, and sleeping on the floors of some questionable characters. Eventually, the imagined danger I romanticized started to become real.
“Trouble” is about the shift from living fast and free to facing the consequences and the ghosts you collect along the way.
The Thrill Is Gone And I Can’t Get It Back was recorded live by Dinos in Vietnam and mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley.
"Trouble" lyrics:
I was looking for trouble and trouble found me.
You get what you want but you don’t want it anymore.
Took a long time to get around you, valedictory.
Catch and release, just about. As if, almost ever.
I used to be free
I used to be mean
I used to be spontaneous
I used to be oblivious
Take what i want
Not apologize
Use sadness as an excuse and hold you like I deserved to, yeah
I was looking for trouble and trouble found me.
I was looking for trouble, yeah
