The Traps release a double A-Side single!!!

Birmingham band The Traps will release a double A-Side digital single 'My Grip' / 'Imposter' on Label Fandango. The Traps consist of brothers Jamie Berry (Vocals / Guitar), Nick Berry (Bass / Vocals), James Minhas (Guitar) and Daniel Webb (Drums) to make their brand of Alternative Pop music. Late last year The Traps let loose the 'Calypso' album on their own Speech Fewapy Records which did very well for the band.

Either way the impressive form of the band who’ve been doing everything themselves and doing it thoroughly well, because there is a steely DIY determination about The Traps, one which is further evinced by this double A-Side single.

The metaphorical A-Side 'My Grip' is from the 'Calypso' album and is their finest moment yet, a great big impassioned blend of New Order synthetics and towering Scott Walker Esq. vocals. The non physical double A-Side single meanwhile is a brand new track called 'Imposter', which is grand and twanging and impeccably imposing.

"'Imposter' was the first song we wrote after 'Calypso', It immediately felt like it was holding the hand of the first record, whilst pulling it towards the light of something slightly new and exciting. The music had a brooding feel to it, which for some reason conjured images of a secretive character that became the subject. The "an imposter keeps his hand quiet" line had been running around my head for another piece of writing I was doing and when working on this song it kept popping back into my head, so I gave into it and it became the name and subject of the song." - Jamie Berry (The Traps)

The Traps hereby join the bountiful singles club funfair which is '12-for-12', whereby Label Fandango releases twelve singles in twelve months to celebrate Club Fandango's 12th birthday. Singles will come from Felt Tip, Longfellow, Desperate Journalist, Feldspar and I am in Love are also flossing the candyfloss and dodging the dodgems. It's a fun place to be, in several senses. Having started 2014 with an appearance at the Buffalo Bar on January 7th for Pandamonium'. On the 14th The Traps return to the cockney smoke to launch 'My Grip' / 'Imposter' rather like this.
