The Traps to play Hare & Hounds

Birmingham Promoters are teaming up with Speech Fewapy Records to celebrate The Traps awesome new single ‘Calypso’– the first official release on their own Birmingham based indie label – with a special release party at Hare & Hounds.

Combining upbeat tempos, an anthemic synth based beat, and a hooky guitar motif that will keep any indie dancefloor buzzing alongside a very cool vocal. The influence behind the track and indeed their debut album is the character Calypso from Homer’s Odyssey poem who captures Homer by leading his ship ashore.

The track was recorded with producer Rob Jones (aka The Voluntary Butler Scheme) earlier this year during studio sessions for their debut album ‘Calypso’, which will be released in early 2013.
Since the release of free downloads ‘Your Headland’ and ‘Moving Pictures’ earlier this year the band’s music has been featured onSony’s Mobile Entertainment portal, a Nivea promotional video and had their artwork selected as featured background on the popular file transfer site WeTransfer.
