Trainwreck were an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 2002. The group featured JR Reed on lead vocals, Kyle Gass on acoustic guitar, John Konesky on electric guitar and John Spiker on bass. The band's line-up originally featured Kevin Weisman on drums and Chris D'Arienzo on the keyboards up until 2005. Nate Rothacker became the second drummer for Trainwreck in 2005. The band released one studio album, one live album, two EPs and one single before splitting up in 2011. The band were best known for their association with Tenacious D due to the vast majority of members also having some form of role in Tenacious D. Jack Black would occasionally appear as a guest at some Trainwreck concerts also.

The band performed under their "alter-egos" with different clothing and talking with country accents to represent their southern style of music, for example Kyle Gass became "Klip Calhoun". Reed was well known for performing with obscure instruments during sets such as a washerboard and whistles.

Trainwreck is the second full-length album from the emo/ post-hardcore band Boys Night Out. It is a tightly-knit concept album that follows the loss of sanity of one man following the murder of his wife he committed in his sleep. A music video was released for the song "Medicating".
