This is the discography of Blitzen Trapper, an American rock band, centered in Portland, Oregon. Blitzen Trapper has released records steadily since 2003, and is known for their brand of folk/countrypolitan rock infused with pop sensibilities, and a variety of styles and influences including country funk, Americana, and psychedelia. Prior to forming Blitzen Trapper, the band toured under the name Garmonbozia and self-released nine non-commercial albums under that name. The lineup of Blitzen Trapper remained almost unchanged over the majority of their studio and live albums. Former member Drew Laughery departed the band prior to 2011's American Goldwing, while three more founding members stayed until late 2019. Two others, Eric Earley and Brian Adrian Koch, have played for the band consistently since its founding.
Blitzen Trapper's most commercially successful period occurred between 2008's Furr and 2011's American Goldwing, during which time the band's studio albums appeared on the Billboard 200. However, their move from label SubPop to Vagrant Records in 2013 preceded their first charting single on a Billboard chart: "Thirsty Man," from the album VII, which went to #29 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart.
Overall, Blitzen Trapper's discography consists of ten studio albums, three live albums, five extended plays, fourteen singles and eighteen music videos.
