Trapt

Biography

Hailing from Los Gatos, California, and formed in the mid-1990s, Trapt broke through to a mainstream audience in the early 2000s with the single Headstrong, a track that became emblematic of the alternative rock of the era. Their self-titled album, carried by that success, reached a wide audience and propelled the band onto rock radio airwaves. Trapt's style sits at the crossroads of alternative metal and post-grunge, with powerful choruses and direct songwriting. After that breakthrough, the band continued to release records and tour regularly, despite lineup changes. Headstrong remains a must-mention whenever the American rock scene of the early millennium comes up.
