They started off with the name One I'd Trouser, before changing their name to Trouser and eventually The Trews. They released an EP as Trouser, and a second EP under the name "The Trews" before the release of their first full-length CD House of Ill Fame in 2003. House of Ill Fame contained the hit singles "Every Inambition", "Not Ready to Go", "Tired of Waiting" "Fleeting Trust" and "Confessions". "Not Ready To Go" hit number one on Canadian rock radio and was the most played song of 2004 in that format.
The band has recently completed work on a follow-up to House of Ill Fame with producer Jack Douglas. The new album, Den of Thieves, was released on August 16th, 2005. The first single, "So She's Leaving", was released to radio June 28th, 2005 and was followed by the singles "Yearning" and "Poor Ol' Broken Hearted Me."
Since the release of their debut album, House Of Ill Fame, The Trews have played well over 400 shows and have shared the stage with Big Sugar, Default, Evanescence, Finger Eleven, Nickelback, Sam Roberts, The Offspring, Three Days Grace and most recently, Robert Plant and the Rolling Stones. They have quickly gained the reputation as one of the best live bands in Canada.
