Trey The Ruler
It's All Down Hell From Here
Spoken word poet TREY THE RULER (Trey Hales) has signed with Equal Vision Records to release his new EP, Its All Down Hell From Here. Its All Down Hell From Here will serve as a preview of the lyrical material that will appear on an upcoming debut full-length to be released later this year and will offer alternative song versions of the EPs poems with the added incorporation of musical accompaniment. This summer, TREY THE RULER will perform on the entirety of the 2015 Vans Warped Tour as a special guest on the Acoustic Basement Tent. "Ive always been an advocate for not needing a full band to prove a point on stage and for that reason at Warped Tour Ill be performing these poems in spoken word/slam poetry solo format in the Acoustic Basement Tent, to an intimate number of kids each day. After working the tour last year, I couldnt be more excited to see how a spoken word artist does in this environment." Having written for nearly his entire life, Hales officially launched TREY THE RULER in 2012 as a written project featured in self-released zines while in high school, eventually evolving into live spoken word performances at local Pacific Northwest shows. After graduating, Hales headed out on the road working for bands on larger club tours, and was soon asked to perform by the bands on the tour packages out f their curiosity to see what the project was all about. Bands were into it, kids were into it, and Hales was super into it, offering a welcome change of pace to shows with a subtle intensity and powerfully unique performances.
