Casey’s DJ Pick of The Week is “Ruin It” by Trash Man!
Alex Mojaverian effortlessly combines pop punk with indie alternative lyrics to make music that examines his inner thoughts. If you’ve been searching for relatable music look no further. Trash Man’s music amplifies universal emotions. Alex states how he crafts his songwriting, beginning with creating short hooks or specific lyrics that are important to him. These kind of hooks are present in “Ruin It”.
Trash Man’s music is a form of raw production. The two production collaborators, Alex Mojaverian and Steven Page, recorded Moment of Bleakness from a backyard studio built from scratch. In true music entrepreneurship fashion, the record turned out sublime!
Alex emphasizes how “Ruin It” explores the idea of having someone you love express a negative opinion. More specifically, how that feeling can run a marathon through your head. As a self-proclaimed people pleaser, Alex writes about trying to avoid the feelings of someone having emotional control over you. This desire to maintain harmony has influenced this track and his overall songwriting. These themes can be heard through the echoing chorus singing “why did I let you ruin it for me?”. Weaved together with soft rock guitar and anchoring drums, “Ruin It” will harmoniously entice you, and heal your inner people pleaser.
