Blurring the line between electronic pop group and heavy live band, Troller merges an intriguing combination of influences into a brooding and catchy experience. Founded in 2010 out of Austin's electronic scene by vocalist/bassist Amber Star-Goers and producer/keyboardist Adam Jones (member of S U R V I V E), Troller’s darkwave aesthetic comes with a hefty dose of doom metal, witch-house and industrial sound design. Driven by booming low-end sub hits and half-time drum machine rhythms, Star-Goers’ fuzz-bass riffs and otherworldly vocals give the band’s ominous pop anthems a unique quality that perfectly complement Jones’ analog synth work. From their earliest performances, Troller‘s compelling live show put them on the map locally, and after touring extensively across America’s DIY underground, the band quickly developed a national following.

Troller released their debut self-titled album in 2012 which played a key role in the founding of Holodeck Records that is still owned and operated by the band to date.
