Wacky Post-Punk New Wave 70s & 80s Music performed by a bunch of guys who looked like Physics Majors.
The Trend was a unique but, alas, unknown post-punk/new wave rock band from 1979-1981 around the L.A. and Southern California area. Having risen from the dead (well, a prolonged middle age stupor anyway), various ex-members got together three times for a 20 year reunion in 1999, 2000 & 2001 with the plan of producing/releasing a CD retrospective/oral history of their greatest hits that never were, as well as recording songs for a reunion CD! This has yet to be completed a decade later but may yet see the light of day before the end of this decade! Numerous mp3 song downloads, additional vintage and recent photos, fliers, used condoms (just kidding) and inane commentary will be added soon. So stay tuned (not that our guitars ever did)!

Lyrics
when the lights are laying low when each breath is long and slow when my pulse rate’s touch and go then you are near me when the dizzy spells begin when the room is in a spin when the heat burns through my skin again you are near me waiting so patiently time to check my vital signs check my vital signs as the fever grips my brain as the passion clogs each vein as i crack beneath the strain you come through clearly waiting etc. you are there each night heaven dressed in white my blue eyed beacon light shining so brightly for all eternity time to check my vital signs check my vital signs
