Acoustic Trauma

NEW LIVE DVD+CD: Only $10! EXPERIENCE IT!

About Me



Welcome to the original sound of Acoustic Trauma. Try to imagine the crisp sound of a violin or acoustic guitar accompanied by a powerful rhythm section. Now add the variables of massive experimentation along with mysterious lyrics and mood-enhancing visual effects. Following the example of their influences, Acoustic Trauma aims to provide a complete entertainment experience for their audience.

The term "acoustic trauma", refers to a medical diagnosis that is associated with hearing loss due to the continued exposure to loud sounds. The name was chosen, for it serves as a definitive pun, both identifying the band by definition as well as their goal in attempting to "traumatize" the acoustic world.

A new live DVD and CD package has been re-released and is now avaiable at all Acoustic Trauma shows. Please email for detailsd as to how to obtain the DVD+CD package if you are interested. The show was recorded live at the Trauma House.
