Bare Traps 'The Best Of This'

GOING about it the old fashioned way with constant gigging across the capital, and various other notable cities, is a tactic Bare Traps have used to their advantage. The London four-piece have just released their self-titled EP and it's jam-packed with gems from start to finish. Expect a headrush of emotions from this release.

 Latest cut 'The Best Of This' is a reflective sub-five minute indie number that effortlessly weaves together rich lyrics and some mighty fine riffage for your listening pleasure. The final track to be released from their EP displays stunning artist progression and proves that even on their downbeat moments - they still manage to kick ass.
Bare Traps have a lot to offer with their slices of dreamy indie pop. The industry bark around them is slowly building and once it reaches fever pitch, don't expect it to die down anytime soon. Previous hits such as 'Be Here Forever' and 'Inside' will send you into a meltdown; listen with caution.

Bare Traps

BUZZWORTHY Londoners, Bare Traps draw their influences from the likes of Bloc Party to Robert Miles with the end result being a distinctive brand of breezy upbeat indie rock that glistens with a pop shine. 

 The four-piece's latest release 'Be Here Forever' extracted from their debut EP was self-produced and mastered by John Davis, who has previously worked with Bloc Party, Led Zeppelin and Arctic Monkeys. The track marks a level of progress since previous tracks were aired. This one's all about giddy riffs and sun-bleached beats. With searching and yearning moments at the forefront, it's a number that even Yannis Philippakis would be proud of. 

Guitarist Luke O'Gorman revealed to The 405 that they have: "A deeper love for dance music than the average guitar band, so the idea of 'Be Here Forever' was to channel that sheer hedonism into the vibe of a guitar song." 

On which they sound like a younger version of Foals circa 2008, 'Every Time' is a math-rock tinged gem and it proves to be one of the band's greatest moments to date. The crowning glory of this track being the jumped-up drumbeat and blissed-out riffs, which is what propels them forward.

 Bare Traps are pure sunshine and they contain authenticity in abundance. Their sound is a mix of style and substance rolled into one and we're eager for them to drop more material soon. 

 Bare Traps are supporting fellow London-based band Judas at The Barfly in Camden on 29th January. Tickets are £6 and can be bought here.
