Trapt formed in the late 1990′s in Los Gatos, located in the south bay of San Francisco’s Bay Area. By 2001, the band had secured a deal with Warner Brothers Records and released their self-titled debut album November of 2002. By mid 2003, their first single headstrong reached number 1 on both alternative and active rock and their self-titled debut became a multi-platinum album with the help of their second #1 hit “Still Frame” and their third single “Echo” becoming another top 10 alternative hit and a mainstay at MTV 2. A couple years later after relentless touring the band found themselves in the middle of their second release in September of 2005. The album is close to reaching gold status and included the top 5 active rock hit Stand Up, Waiting and Disconnected (Out Of Touch). In August of 2008, TRAPT put out their 3rd album “Only Through The Pain,” somewhat of a concept album it spawned the top 10 hit “Who’s Going Home With You Tonight” and the top 15 hit “Contagious,” which was a number one song for KUPD in Phoenix, WIYY in Baltimore, WIIL in Chicago and The Buzz in Houston among others. TRAPT went to work on their 4th album a year after “Only Through The Pain” was released and on October 10th of 2010 gave the modern rock world another great album “No Apologies,” which included “Sound Off” and “End Of My Rope” the former being another active rock hit for the band. TRAPT is in the midst of releasing their 5th album “Reborn” on Epochal Artist/EMI/Capitol and the first single “Bring It” is poised to capture another top spot on the active rock charts. The new album has some of the best songs the band has written and a new musical direction. In frontman Chris Taylor Brown’s own words, “this record is really a new sound for TRAPT, I’ve gotten to this point where I feel like rock music today needs to experiment and push new boundaries more than ever before. With “Reborn” we really wanted to use new sounds and textures electronically and organically using delays, reverbs, synths and a bunch of other techniques we have learned over the years or have heard in our influences. Lyrically, this album is as deep and thoughtful as any album that TRAPT has done in the past.” TRAPT’s new album “Reborn” will be released November 20 and expect to see the band in a city near you.
