There are at least two The Traps:

1) The Traps came first, were from Providence, RI (2003-2004) and sounded really, really mean, but in a rock 'n' roll way, not some lame metal way. At least one of them was then part of The Black Clouds and then Party Pigs. Those bands sound mean, too.


2) Birmingham based band, The Traps were born on 1st January 2008. The band spent much of the year writing, recording and playing live, gaining fans from their performances and from sending out free mp3s to those who messaged them directly on myspace.

The band founded the record label - Speech Fewapy Records to enable the release of their own EPs. 2009 saw the release of three EPs, ‘Luna’, ‘Elk’ and The Honey Drip’. All were released in download only formats and were all made available for free. The three EPs were downloaded a combined total of over 1,500 times.

As well as a handful of live dates across the UK, 2010 saw the band retreat into the studio to write and record demos in preparation for the release of their debut LP which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2011.

The Traps are Jamie Berry, Nick Berry, Jim Minhas and Daniel Webb.
