History

The band were formed by Zoltán Kőváry, who previously gained popularity as the guitarist of the Hungarian indie band Amber Smith, in Budapest, Hungary. The Trousers were influenced by the 60s and 70s garage rock, hard rock, soul bands such as The Hellacopters or BRMC. Their first EP entitled Dive Insane was released in 2007 and the single Blood For You topped Hungarian Radio for three weeks. The album was released in the United States and France later. In 2008 their first LP was released entitled Planetary Process[3] which helped the band to play at international festivals such as Melt! Festival in Germany, Botanique Club - Boutique Rock in Belgium, and Gutter City Garage Rock Festival in Denmark.

Soul Machine

In 2011 Soul Machine was released by EMI Records.[4][5][6] The band invited two session musicians from the Hungarian band, Neo, namely Péter Kőváry and Enikő Hodosi, to contribute to their record. Péter Kőváry is the elder brother of The Trousers frontman.

Freak Beat

In 2013 Freak Beat was released which was recorded at the Artist Factory. The album was recorded by Zoltán Cs. Szabó. This is the first record with Peter Locke playing the guitar and Ádám Iliás playing the bass. Some of the songs were played by the band's ex-bass player Kornél Tarr. The band invited Nicke Andersson from the Hellacopters and András Gábor from the Ozone Mama.[7][8][9]

On 24 August 2016, the band's single Hysterical Route was aired by Rádió Rock 95.8. Since then another single has been aired: I Get Around.[10]
