3...according to our Phil on Fri 23 Mar, 2007.

Trap 6 7" out on Hungry Kid Records is extremely poppy indie music. It's called The Cycle and they're obviously reasonably talented. At time the guitar reminds me of Spirit In The Sky though that's not wholly indicative of the fruits on offer here. In fact it's about 2 seconds of the song but it's the only bit I'm inspired to write about!

"Think Kaiser Chiefs jamming with The Killers in The Automatic's garage and you're coming somewhere close." - Sunday Mail Hailing from the hotbed of talent that is Scotland, along with the likes of the View, Franz Ferdinand, Shit Disco and gigmates The Fratellis, Glasgows’ own Trap_6 release ‘The Cycle’ on Hungry Kid, home to Dustins Bar Mitzvah, Winterkids, Clocks, Anechoic, Rolling Dog and Furthest Drive Home. Formed in early 2005 Trap 6 have been honing their skills on the local scene, purveying tunes with frantic crunching guitars and jaw droppingly catchy hooks. Inspired by the everyday believable lyrics of bands such as The Jam and The Kinks- the band lyrically convey the highs, lows, loves, losses, nights out and mornings after with songs filled with tales of boozy bars, hectic Saturday nights, work, money, love -songs tailor made for bored twenty-something Brits.'The Cycle' will be backed with live favourite 'Man About Town' and also features a spectacular B-side in an Electro Mix of ‘The Cycle’ from the bands songwriter Gary Curley. Already endorsed by Tim Burgess (Charlatans) on Channel 4, the band look set to win over many more fans with the release of ‘The Cycle’.

5...according to Alan.

Been waiting on a release from this band for an age! Their songs are the type you want to put on before going out or bounce around to on the dance floor. The Cycle is a monster of a track. Brilliant lyrics and as well.
