Trans Am T Shirt

Trans Am is a boundary-pushing trio from Maryland that blends post-rock, synthwave, and ironic bravado into a sound that’s equal parts Kraftwerk, Van Halen, and DIY punk. Known for vocoder vocals, analog synths, and thunderous live drums, they’ve released a dozen albums on Thrill Jockey, including Futureworld and Volume X, each packed with retro-futurist textures and genre-hopping mischief. Their live shows are raw and unpredictable, often veering from robotic grooves to metal riffs with tongue firmly in cheek. Trans Am doesn’t just play with sound—they remix cultural tropes, satirize rock machismo, and revel in outsider aesthetics, making them cult icons for fans of experimental music and pop culture pastiche.
