Looked up Trent's early career on the internets and just got schooled on the story. In 1986, he joined a Cleveland new wave band called Exotic Birds that doesn't sounds like he was stepping toward NIN yet. That's him in the interview vid below. The Exotic Birds also appeared in the 1987 movie Light of Day as a fictional band that was mocked as "Flock Of Seagulls" by a main actor. (also below) Reznor wasn't actually a member of Slam Bamboo, he only contributed keyboard on those 3 songs. I think had it been released a few years earlier, that song House On Fire might have been a hit. When it was released in 86, that British New Wave Duran Duran sound was already fading out. By then, alternative pop was becoming edgier synth/industrial rock, and the movement toward less produced punk/grunge music was starting to happen. Thankfully Reznor rode that wave to fame instead. Thanks for turning me on to this music history investigation. My favorite thing to do on a Sunday. 😜🤙 Edited February 6, 2022 by paradime 3 Quote Link to comment

I don't imagine Trent cares to put any of these on his K-Tel compilation 8 tracks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
