In the 1980s the Chicagoland area band Trouble was rather different with their decidedly traditional and anti-trend sound. At a time when bands were following mainstream and smaller-scene fashions and trends, whether glam or thrash, as is often the case, trends were pervasive. In other words, Trouble sounded rather unusual in the 1980s because everything else around them was so typical 1980s, in one way or another. However, Trouble did not sound like a typical 80s band at all. They sounded like a band weaving together three different decades of music into a whole new package called Trouble. They made no secret of their love of The Beatles and Cream, of 1970s heavy and classic rock, and of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Here is the album, as well as some videos that you might find interesting because they present the sound of the band and how they represented themselves, as something along the lines of heavy metal hippies promoting peace and love, an anti-war and anti-violence aesthetic, and also a message opposed to the glorification of evil.
