The group released their debut album, The Lonely Position of Neutral, on July 23, 2002. The album was well received with the lead single "Downfall" gaining heavy exposure through MTV2. Subsequently, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts. A second single "Running From Me" followed with more moderate success. The Lonely Position was certified gold by the RIAA, and the band went on to tour with artists such as 30 Seconds to Mars and Papa Roach. They also toured with KoRn and Disturbed as part of the Pop Sux Tour in 2002.
Trust Company was scheduled to play at Ozzfest 2003 but was forced to back out by their label in order to work on their second album, True Parallels, which was belatedly released on March 22, 2005, after an 8-10 month delay. Several months prior to the album's release, original bassist Josh Moates left the group and was replaced by Walker Warren. Despite little promotion from their label, the album entered the Billboard album charts at #32, and has gone on to sell in excess of 200,000 copies. The first and only single from the album, "Stronger," made a moderate impact on mainstream rock radio. According to drummer Jason Singleton on the band's website message board, the second single may have been "The War is Over."
In August 2005, it was announced that frontman Kevin Palmer had left the band due to personal issues. The band disbanded shortly after. Soon after the breakup, Palmer and original bassist Josh Moates came together to form a new project called Amity Lane. The band released their debut album The Sound of Regret on October 31, 2006 via Corporate Punishment Records.
Jason Singleton played as the drummer for several bands in Montgomery, including Arm in Arms, The Spicolis, and The Escape Frame. James Fukai reunited with his old band, Hematovore, under their indie record label, Acerbic Noise Development.
On August 11, 2007, it was announced on www.tunelabmusic.com that the four original members - Kevin Palmer, Josh Moates, Jason Singleton, and James Fukai - were reuniting and have two reunion shows planned in Montgomery, Alabama and that they will be writing and recording a new album for release sometime in 2008. On November 9, 2007 the band headlined what would be considered a reunion show at Seville Quarter in Pensacola, FL. The band has continued to perform shows around the southeast.
The band posted in a Myspace bulletin on February 25, 2008 that Kevin had finished recording the vocals for some new songs and that the band hopes to have an album out around the middle of the year, however, it will be closer to 2009 before the album is ready.
On March 18, 2008, The band posted 2 brand new songs on their MySpace page. The songs are titled "Waking Up" and "Stumbling." The band stated in a blog that these are demos and may be re-recorded.
The band recently announced on its Myspace page that it will be handing out CDs with previously unreleased or somewhat released material from past years at its concerts with the purchase of a t-shirt.
Josh Moates has chosen to leave the band and has been replaced by Amity Lane touring guitarist, Eric Salter.
The band has now expanded its touring to the east coast, with The Exies as the headlining act.
The band released new tracks entitled 'Seasons Change', 'Today' and 'I Can't Breathe' on their Myspace.
The Fear
Trust Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm cold inside my fear
And I can feel my soul
Take me in
I'm yours again for awhile
Just like the last time
Leave me from the fear
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
Leave me from the fear
And I will leave you here
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
I feel weak
And I'm slowly losing touch
Of what is left in me
Take me in
I'm yours again for awhile
Just like the first time
Leave me from the fear
And I will leave you here
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
Leave me from the fear
And I will leave you here
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
And I need you
To keep me here
I'm starting over again
And I need you
To keep me here
I'm starting over again
Leave me from the fear
And I will leave you here
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
Leave me from the fear
And I will leave you here
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
It's the way out, it's the way out
It's the way from here to leave
The lyrics in the song "The Fear" by Trust Company depicts the feelings of someone who is trapped in their fears and is searching for a way out. The first verse explains how the artist is consumed by their inner fears, making them feel cold inside. It is notable to see that the artist starts with the present tense ("Standing here") and proceeds to the past tense ("Just like the last time"), implying a recurrent theme in their life where they face the same fears over and over. In the chorus, the artist acknowledges that leaving their fears is the only exit from their constant cycle of distress. They are willing to leave everything that keeps them bound in the fear and move forward onto new things.
In the second verse, the artist suggests that their anxieties have taken control of them, weakening their strength and losing sight of who they were. They revert to depending on someone else to help "keep them here" and "starting over again." The bridge repeats the chorus, mentioning again how they need to abandon their old ways to progress towards a positive outlook on life. The lyrics showcase a deep desire for change and liberation, releasing them from their fears. The repetition of "It's the way out, it's the way out'' emphasizes the theme, stating that leaving their fears is the only solution.

Standing here
I am present in this moment
I'm cold inside my fear
I am afraid and it is making me feel numb
And I can feel my soul
I am aware of my innermost self
Take me in
I want to be comforted and protected
I'm yours again for awhile
I am submitting to you and your care just as I have done before
Just like the last time
I am repeating a pattern of behavior
Leave me from the fear
Please help me escape my fear
And I will leave you here
I will part ways with you if you do help me escape my fear
It's the way out, it's the way out
Escaping fear is the solution
It's the way from here to leave
The path to escape fear is the way to leave this place
I feel weak
I am not strong in this moment
And I'm slowly losing touch
I am gradually becoming disconnected
Of what is left in me
Of what little energy or power I have left
Just like the first time
I am repeating a pattern of behavior
And I need you
I cannot do this alone
To keep me here
I need your presence and support to stay grounded
I'm starting over again
I am beginning anew
It's the way out, it's the way out
Escaping fear is the solution
It's the way from here to leave
The path to escape fear is the way to leave this place
It's the way out, it's the way out
Escaping fear is the solution
It's the way from here to leave
The path to escape fear is the way to leave this place

This band crosses generations. I'm 53 and have been listening since they released this. This album is way deeper than the continuous and amazing musical jam. Who hasn't been in The Lonely Position of Neutral at some point in their lives?
