Trouble is an American rock band. They formed in 1979 in Aurora, Illinois. Many people see them as one of the most important bands that helped create a music style called doom metal. This style is known for its slow tempos and heavy guitar sounds.

The band got their sound from British rock groups like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. They also took ideas from psychedelic rock bands from the 1970s. The main members of Trouble have included Eric Wagner (singer), Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin (guitarists), and Jeff Olson (drums).
