The message from P. Trash reads as follows:

Dear P. Trash family,

Dismayed and with great sadness we have to inform you that Peter of P. Trash Records died last Tuesday, 16th of January 2018, from his injuries following a tragic car accident. With Peter, the record label also died. There will be no more releases on P. Trash.

Our children, parents, friends and me, we are deeply shocked and devastated and we can't believe it.

Please understand that I need some time for us at the moment. I will try to work off all open business as soon as possible. I know you understand!
