About

Jim Trainer is a communicator.  Growing up in the hardcore scene of the early 90’s taught him everything he needed to know about real work.  Jim Trainer believes in rock and roll.  It may be our only salvation in this dark world.  He’s carried the torch for independent media, broadcasting as one of the early voices of Radio Volta(88.1fm)and writing for the Philadelphia IMC’s Wire in the early aughts.  He’s appeared as The Reason, broadcasting on WKDU 91.7fm while writing for its Communiqué.  He’s been the driver for several internationally touring metal bands, taking him to every state in the Continental U.S.  He’s followed that Americana sound all the way down to Austin, TX where he works as a Singer/Songwriter and contributes to Verbicide Magazine.  “We are not that different, you and I.”  If you hear his voice on the air or read his words on the page, Jim Trainer is trying to break down the separation they have built between us.  Jim Trainer believes you can be set free and that communication is the key.
