THE TRAPS formed in 2008 when band members Jamie Berry (vocals/guitar), Nick Berry (vocals/bass), James Minhas (lead guitar) and Dan Webb (drums) broke free of the small town backwaters where they first met to set about crafting music nspired by the bands and artists they loved.
Drawing inspiration from influences ranging from the street smart urban cool of The
Ramones and The Clash, to the perfect pop of The Beach Boys, an ambitious approach to song writing and recording is an integral part of the band’s focus. This has provided the platform from which they have built a widespread, ever growing fan base including household names from the world of popular music, Oasis legend Noel Gallagher and Ian Brown. Extensive touring over the last year and a half has also seen the band become an impressive live force with key performances at Serbia’s Exit Festival, Secret Garden Party and most recent of all a string of shows in New York City culminating in a riotous performance at Lit Lounge in the East Village.
2009 sees The Traps set to continue in the way they have kicked off to tour and record.
