The Temper Trap bring the Zooropa standard into their framework for a moment, while covering of a song, that unlike covering just any great song, has featured Bono’s voice. Kudos adaptation.

The Temper Trap’s last record was in 2009, and it was HUGE. This is our first taste of their sophomore effort, and we love it. The lead in this band can really sing. This song has the same epic feel to it that we have heard from some of their previous singles for sure. Total Jam.

Anytime a new song with the name Breton attached on it surfaces its cause to get psyched. This time its the UK band handing off remixing duties on their track “December” to our fav and yours The Temper Trap. A big beat, a jumpy new bassline, and a vocal mixed down to Franz Ferdinand-esque depth-in-the-pa are a few of the updates you can expect your ears to be treated to. See what you think.

Melbourne, Australia’s wonderboys The Temper Trap continued their worldbeating tour of nonstop jams this past Wednesday at Boston’s House of Blues. The band rolled into the burger and fries venue accompanied by NYC duo The Hundred in the Hands and UK Mancunians Delphic.
We love NME hype bands so much it isn’t even funny. So when we heard NME it girls Delphic were on this bill, we were super super psyched. Their debut LP Acolyte is one of our favs of the year. The band’s brand of synth-driven Manchester-driven rock dance pop came off tremendously well live, suprisingly so. The interplay/coordination between various band personnel was phenomenal, between synthesizers and drum machines, guitars and bass, frontman James Cook’s killer vox and keyboardist Rick Boardman’s equally killer backup vox. The band was really really solid, on top form. Due to their still relative obscurity in the States outside the circles of serious NME hype loving anglophiles like us, Delphic hit the stage to maybe 80% crowd indifference but left it to near total venue admiration.
The Temper Trap have crazy fans and their numbers seems to grow exponentially by the day. The band’s potential is unlimited. These guys could totally be a Coldplay-level band in 5-7 years, they’re that kind of band. This was my first time seeing the band, and wow. All I can really say is wow, I was that impressed. The band, itself, sounded massive. Singer Dougy Mandagi is totally a star. The band’s brand of thoughtful, hopeful, artful pop just straight up destroyed I think everybody in attendance. Think about the word choice in that sentence thoughtful, hopeful, artful & destroyed. The Temper Trap are that kind of band. It’s truly remarkable what these guys are doing. Highlights for me from the set were second song Fader with its mega, dare I say Hutchence-esque, hooks and killer rhythmic elements and mid-set jam Love Lost which does sort of sound like what the aforementioned Coldplay might sound like if they were still hungry.
Potential. Potential. Potential. Both The Temper Trap and Delphic have a veritable shitload of it; Delphic, likely, more so in the UK but really with The Temper Trap, its’ worldwide. They’re that kind of band.

Hey family. It’s that special time of the year again when the glitterati of the music industry descend on ATX to slap each other fives, layer their forearms in VIP wrist bands, and hopefully catch some cool bands. Planning for SXSW can be a daunting ask. The sheer number of bands, shows, parties, etc is ginormous. SXSW planning fatigue is real but b3sci is here to help! We’re setting you up with all our picks for can’t miss sets (our Top 5 for each nighttime hour of the festival) and showcases (our 3 faves for each night). Lego!

we caught the hundred in the hands opening for the temper trap a few weeks back and we’re def impressed. the track for their lead single commotion further delivers on that first impression. we’re feeling the grooves and the killer melodies (spot that massive prechorus). consider us stoked to dig deeper into their self-titled debut.

We last featured the awesome dynamically-textured synth line, on-point deep-bass accents and contrastingly-delicate melodic vocals of Perth-based B3-featured male-female duo GRRL PAL on their mellow-vibe trap-infused jam “Vice” which is the ninth track in the pair’s one-song-a-month-for-a-year series. We’re totally vibing the poppy sentiments of “Suggest” the duo’s synth-fed eleventh series single which excels exponentially for its finely wrought melange of sultry-sensual brightly-muted beat-tempered background-vocals-tinged ambience and exquisitely-feminine celestial-otherworldly catchy-harmonic quiet-vibe vocals.
