If ears could smile then that's what mine would do everytime I listen to The Temper Trap. It's been over a year since they released their album 'Conditions' and I still can't get enough of the tunes from this playlist. I love indie rock and these guys just came along with some refreshingly great beats to add their mark to the rock world and my ipod! There ain't a song I don't like on this album but to name some favourites you can't go past the crowd pleaser 'Sweet Disposition' but I also have a soft spot for 'Resurrection' and 'Fader'. There aren't many albums that I could just keep on rotation start to finish and start again and I just love it when I find one.
Some interesting facts about the band, they were original called The Harlequins and then they changed to Temper Temper. They were signed by a label and discovered a punk/emo band by the same name at which point they changed a third time to become The Temper Trap! They were once asked in an interview if The Temper Trap was a person what type of person would it be? Their response: "I think it would be a four-headed being from the planet nebular. It would be quite strange to look at as there would always be some type of heated discussion and it would have a very bad case of tourettes syndrome."
I'm still holding out for these guys to put a gig on near me but if you're lucky enough to be going to Splendour In The Grass festival then be sure to check out their performance there. http://www.thetempertrap.com/
