Episode 150: Trauma Therapy

On episode 150 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Trauma Therapy! Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trauma Therapy is a metalcore/rock band that formed in 2022. With influences ranging from Motionless In White, Dayseeker, and Bad Omens, Trauma Therapy's goal is to connect with listeners by sharing their real life experiences with mental health and perseverance through trauma. That goal is embodied in Trauma Therapy's debut single "Fix My Heart." The emotionally charged track deals with singer Chris Carrington's real life experiences as a therapy patient, and the everyday happenings that accompanied his coping and healing journey. Released on August 23rd, "Fix My Heart" also has an equally emotional music video which features Chris' wife, Jill, who is the lead singer in Charlotte-based rock band Forever May Fall.   Since its release, "Fix My Heart" is already resonating with music fans. In less than a month, the music video is nearing 10,000 views on YouTube, while the single is approaching 10,000 streams on Spotify alone. Working with the likes of Pangea Productions (Killakoi), Will Baker (Hollow Intent), Cody Weissinger (The Funeral Portrait), and Colt Crevar (Forever May Fall), Trauma Therapy is just scratching the surface of their potential and creativity in the metalcore and modern rock realms, with more music on the way. In this episode, Chris and drummer Aaron Kirkland talk with Mike about how they linked up for Trauma Therapy, how they got into music, Chris' mental health journey, how "Fix My Heart" came to be, Jill's support and companionship through Chris' struggles and healing, the music they're working on, and more.
