With two albums worth of material, the band hopes to record their first full-length studio album in the very near future. In the meantime, Autumn Above will be recording demo, after demo to show what they've been creating and to keep things interesting for their listeners."

TREBEK explores a kaleidoscope of musical genres that breeds a sexy and
courageous blend of rock, punk, funk and R&B.

"Trebek is a sweet, smooth, funky, unforgettable rock/dub band whose
major influences may mostly be from a bygone era, but whose sound is so
fresh that we might just have to slap it! This explosive five-pieces
music will get you nodding your head and jumping around like a kid on
too many pixy stix ~ or, in the right situation, it will get you action
in the biblical sense."
