Trauma Cat is a post-industrial power trio from Syracuse, New York, comprised of Ralph Kojig (guitar and vocals), Roman Pando (bass and vocals), and Rutger DiBoyere (drums) (drums).
Despite the fact that critics debate the band's genuine origins and the meaning of their existence, Trauma Cat is commonly regarded as the inventors of "cuck rock," an amorphous genre of music characterised by constant apologies and shameless cross-genre plagiarism. Trauma Cat's sound has been described as "uncomfortable art rock," and its ideologies as "alt-wrong."
