TRAP THEM joins the Deathwish family, on tour now, "Sleepwell Deconstructor" out now on Trash Art!

Trap Them are an absolutely brutal metal/hardcore band formed by Ryan McKenney (ex-Backstabbers Inc.) and Brian Izzi (ex-December Wolves).

In early 2007, Trap Them released two stunning records on Rhode Island's Trash Art! label, both engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at Godcity Studios. First was their crushing "Self Titled" debut 7"EP. Bringing to mind influences Entombed, Nasum, and even Black Flag, the release was a devastating three song wake up call to the aggressive music community.

Just two months later, Trap Them released "Sleepwell Deconstructor", their debut full length on Trash Art!. The album's viciousness is awe inducing, proving that they already deserve to stand among the elite of the extreme metal and hardcore genre. Here's what the critics are saying:

"Trap Them's debut is more blistering than living in the sun's chromosphere, blending bits of punk, crust, grind, and metal, screaming and twisting its way through 21 minutes on Sleepwell Deconstructor..." - Punknews.org

"...I'm just going to end this by saying if you miss out now, you're going to hate yourself later after everyone is done making fun of you for not having heard Trap Them. Don't fuck this up, freshman." - Lambgoat.com

"Sleepwell Deconstructor" by New Hampshire's Trap Them is an album for those of you with a thirst for old school rooted grindcore crossed with crust punk fury. Forget about studio-polished acts passing themselves off as grind or the mix-and-match noisiness of the failed imitators, Trap Them grabs one by the short hairs and proceeds to drag the victim through the painful memories and violent tendencies of a bruised psyche..." - Blabbermouth.net

Trap Them will be entering Godcity Studios to record "Seance Prime", their first Deathwish release this summer.
Look for Trap Them apparel and releases in the DW Estore very soon.

I would love to, especially because, in addition to YOU guys playing, AND Trap Them playing, AMPERE is playing AND, you may or may not know, the Cancer Kids are doing a reunion and for this reunion they are releasing a limited press 1-sided 7" record called Boston Creme, and to promote this record they are giving away FREE donuts with each record.

BUT we are playing at UMass Lowell for free tomorrow, and I am going to prime those UMassers for the carnage of May 3rd instead. I hope it's fun man! see you tonight!

Oh shit, don't forget the ookla disc!!!
