Trust Company (also typeset as TRUSTcompany and TRUST*CO) is an American alternative metal band from Prattville, Alabama, United States. Formed in 1997 by lead vocalist Kevin Palmer and drummer Jason Singleton. Trust Company has sold over 1 million albums worldwide. History Formation and The Lonely Position of Neutral (1997–2002) Formed in 1997, Trust Company came together through vocalist/guitarist Kevin Palmer and drummer Jason Singleton. Originally called 41Down, the band then recruited bassist Josh Moates and guitarist James Fukai. After building a local fan-base and releasing a self-titled album as well as a couple demos, the band went on to sign a major label deal with Geffen Records. The band then changed their name to Trust Company to avoid confusion with the Canadian band Sum 41. The group released its debut album, The Lonely Position of Neutral, on July 23, 2002.
