Commonly found in rock-and-roll lineups, a rock trio is a band of three members: the lineup is typically one playing guitar, one playing bass and one playing drums. The rock trio is essentially rock and roll with a bare minimum of musicians, with one member, usually bass and (almost) never drums, doubling on vocals and the guitarist doubling the rhythm and lead parts. The rock trio is thus commonly found in bands that stick to Three Chords and the Truth, though the format had its roots in bands that were more experimental with their music. The rock trio took off in the 1960s thanks to developments in amplifier technology that allowed for the volume of guitars and bass to increase. From there, the format was popularized in the blues-rock and hard rock genres before spreading to prog rock in the 1970s and falling in popularity in the early 1980s. In this first wave, the format was commonly used by bands that engaged in long, intrinsic improvised solos and bombastic jam sessions. This version of the rock trio contributed heavily to the development of heavy metal, especially power metal. Some bands at this time (i.e. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath) took a "3+1" approach, having a core rock trio with a fourth on vocals. Prog rock also introduced a variation that swapped the guitar for a keyboard (i.e. Emerson, Lake & Palmer), while keeping the same general idea. After the original wave fell out of favor, the format was later adopted by punk rock and grunge bands in the late 80s and throughout the 1990s, finding the stripped-down ensemble to fit perfectly with their stripped down approach to music. Several notable punk bands from this time still exist today. The rock trio also continued to remain popular in progressive rock, though prog as a whole was in a down period at this time. Today, the rock trio continues to be used in all varieties, as well as in bands that use it as their core while adding supporting instruments and a dedicated vocalist. It should be noted that a rock trio is more commonly known in the music industry as a power trio but that name is already used as a trope. Not coincidentally, the rock trio is itself a subtrope of our Power Trio. Musically, it could be compared to a Freudian Trio in that the drums focus on the beat (Superego), the guitar focuses on the melody (Id) and the bass reconciles the two (Ego), though this says nothing about the personalities of the musicians themselves. Despite the name, the rock trio is not strictly limited to rock bands: Several pop and metal bands have taken the general idea of the format and made it work. Note that many rock trios often add "touring" musicians for live shows, especially on second and subsequent tours. Typical choices are a second guitarist to handle the rhythm and harmony parts created by overdubs by the principal guitarist in the studio or a keyboard player to handle song elements (lush synth pads, vintage organ, piano) that can't be recreated live by the basic setup. A multi-instrumentalist who can switch from guitar to keyboard to a wind instrument (sax) is also a common choice. These touring members often contribute additional auxiliary percussion (shaker/tambourine) and backing vocals to tracks where additional guitar or keyboards isn't required. Sometimes touring members become official members at a later stage leading to the band evolving beyond the rock trio concept. Sometimes if the trio's identity as three founders is deemed too important to allow a fourth touring member onstage, the touring member may play hidden offstage and have their sound added into the mix by audio engineers.note https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offstage_musicians_and_singers_in_popular_music |

They also technically have a fourth member as Geno Lenardo actually founded the group and wrote the music with Draiman. | |

Brazilian band Os Paralamas do Sucesso: Herbert Vianna (vocals/guitar), Bi Ribeiro (bass) and João Barone (drums) Also from Brazil, Legião Urbana became this after their original bassist, Renato Rocha, left and frontman Renato Russo took over his instrument on studio. In fact, Rocha was always a replacement musician; he was brought into the band because, during the recording of the first album, Russo (who was officially singer/bassist) slit his own wrists and could not play. A third example from the country was Engenheiros do Hawaii, which following the departure of The Pete Best were a trio for their first eleven years (their last album in that formation was even Gessinger, Licks & Maltz). Then the guitarist left, and a keyboardist became a full member to grow the band to 4. |

ChalkZone: The main trio, as Rudy & The ChalkZone Band/Gang (the last part changed after Hynden Walch, Penny's speaking voice, took over singing duties for the character from Robbyn Kirmsse, due to the first nine ending songs being written out of Walch's vocal range for Penny) were one in the show's ending music video segments, with Snap on guitar, Rudy on keyboard (instead of bass), and Penny on drums. | |

Remo Drive started as a duo until Sam Mathys was added to the band, making them this trope. Then he was fired following the band's first full-length album, reverting the band into a duo for their second album. Mathys was later replaced with Sam Becht, but it's unclear if he's an official member: although he's credited as a member on their third album, he doesn't seem to be acknowledged by the rest of the band or their promotional material as one, and he seems to have less creative input in the band than Mathys ever had. | |

The newly (as of August 2011) reconstituted Deathmøle (if they even choose to keep that name without Natasha around), in Questionable Content, fits the mold with Marten on guitar, Amir on bass and Hannelore on drums. In the short time since they got back together there's been no mention of adding a fourth member again; granted, so far it's just one semi-impromptu jam session, but clearly Marten has bigger plans this time around. | |

V6, which did the theme songs for InuYasha and Eyeshield 21, contains two with the band releasing albums and touring both independently and as a combined group. This is evident in Eyeshield 21, where the Coming Century trio did the first intro song and the 21st Century trio did the second. The two combined to do the InuYasha theme song. | |

Alvin and the Chipmunks are sometimes this, depending on the adaptation. When they do, it's Alvin on guitar, Simon on keyboard/piano and Theodore on drums. Canonically, all three are multi-talented with instruments and the later films have had Simon on bass, fulfilling the traditional definition. | |

Snow Patrol started of as a trio and released two albums on that line-up during their indie phase. They've expanded as a quartet before the recording of their breakthrough album Final Straw, and have become a quintet before Eyes Open and have stayed for the most part as that until September 2023, with the departure of bassist Paul Wilson and drummer Jonny Quinn, returning to the trio line-up. | |
