A solo project from musician/producer Chris Kaetzel. Inspired by a multitude of genres and artists, Chris seeks to produce art that is genuine and takes into account all different kinds of sounds, with zero concern about being classified by any of them.

The Trying draws a lot of influence from Nine Inch Nails, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Mars Volta, Marilyn Manson, Placebo, and many, many more. Lyrically, the songs range from deeply personal/emotional to unapologetically political (leftist). Read more on Last.fm.
