The band started by Canadian snowboarder Trevor Andrew (born Falmouth, Nova Scotia, August 31, 1979), Trouble Andrew was a hybrid rock, hiphop, electronica band that drew its influence from such varied names as Big Black, Black Flag, Lil Wayne, and Master P. that is to say, the attitudeladen styles of American hardcore and golden age era and early 21st century hip hop. Emerging on the cultural radar as a well known professional snowboarder (he also competed in the 1998 and 2002 Olympic Games) Trevor had to make the switch to less athletically based forms of art after a career ending knee injury in 2004. Roping in Ian Longwell on drums, Joao Salamao on guitar, and Massa on bass, Trouble Andrew began touring incessantly, eventually getting some work on various snowboarding DVDs, and released their debut album, Trouble Andrew, in 2007. Plans for a follow up record Stop Me and a mix tape were next on the drawing board.
