There are four separate artists that call themselves Trebuchet.

1 Trebuchet, from Diss, UK. A Doom metal band with progressive rock/ psy rock elements. A project by Dave Gilbert (Dark Matter, Minor Planet, Arcadian Temple) and Shayne Joseph (Eldritch Rites).

2. The rock/avant garde band, Trebuchet, from Texas

Trebuchet - Bear and the Moon

As their name might suggest, Trebuchet conquers just about every ear they encounter with their eclectic blend of classic and postmodern rock. Not only do they have a tendency for the loud and epic, but they might just as easily tone it down, leaving you wondering what happened to your clothes.

3. The Trebuchet mentioned below

Trebuchet... Half-decent balls out rock machine driving home the agenda of power rock and roll with 10% effort. Trebuchet combine sloppy 4th hand riffs lifted from the treasure chest of tasty rock with screechy stretched vocals that sound as though they will give up at any minute. Just being in the presence of Trebuchet feels like you are in the middle of a midnight rendezvous with Sir Lord Baltimore and The riff from Stone Cold Fever by the "Pie".

4. Petaluma/Santa Rosa (California) based Rock/Indie band.

Rarely does a band’s sound mirror its name so appropriately as Trebuchet. Much as this real-world instrument of destruction lofts deadly missiles into enemy defenses, the Sonoma-based foursome fires salvos of meandering melodies and intricate harmonies into the listener’s ear that cause bedlam in the brain. From the bouncy strum of the ukulele to the determined, relentless thumping of the kick drum, from the wailing cry of the mandolin to the sudden, crisp four-part harmonies, and from the intense, sorrowful phrases to the perpetual, dulcet tones of the piano, Trebuchet’s songs are sure to wash over you and leave a lasting impression. The sound is unique and particular, composed simply and totally for the sake of music, rather than the sake of the audience.

The foundation of the group resulted as much from mutual musical taste as it did from boredom and convenience. Three-fourths of Sonoma County’s resident upstart post-rock ensemble Not To Reason Why (Paul & Lauren Haile, Navid Manoochehri) teamed up with Furlong front-man Eliott Whitehurst to walk an unfamiliar and wholly different path. While Trebuchet is still in its infancy, this inaugural effort showcases the depth and variety of their talent. It is a refreshing experience to listen to seven entire tracks of a complex but ultimately complimentary album, and yet be hopelessly unable to peg the “lead singer” or put into words the specific style of music.

If someone is ever able to coin a term that capably encompasses the breadth of their unique sound, and gives title to their genre, Trebuchet’s next work will surely render the definition wholly inadequate.
