As of November 2009, Traps don’t own that ‘indie rock’ label as fully as they used to. In its place is something a little more diverse, the percussion ramping up, Kieran Day experiencing some Buckley moments on vocals and the guitars ramming it home with plenty to do. It’s less We Are Scientists and more Eddy Current. Less indie, more noise, more psych, more fitting for their new label, Rice Is Nice.

Today marks the release of the latest Traps 7" single, which is great for several reasons. The obvious first reason being that, hey, it's Traps, they're fucking terrific.

The wax package is also worth checking out for the impressive ‘Brainwasher’ on the b-side. It’s a startling track from a very tidy little 7”.
-Mess and Noise, 2009
It was indie rock, plain and simple...but it felt new. Even though I had a horde of talented headliners to go, Traps had already made the afternoon worthwhile.
-Fasterlouder, 2009
Their loud, catchy, pretense-free rock and roll feels like a gulp of cold beer after months of sipping on the sickly-sweet electro cocktail that has flooded Sydney’s music scene.
-Oyster Magazine, 2008
It's impossible to ignore the fact that Traps are a talented band.
-Polaroids of Androids, 2008
Sydney indie rock four-piece Traps, blurring the lines between Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists and awesome.
