The Temper Trap are a great new band coming out of Melbourne, Australia. They are currently residing in the UK, and their sound as been compared to that of Coldplay and U2.

 

The band finished recording their debut album with veteran music producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian) in March of 2009 in London, after 4 weeks recording the bulk of the album in Melbourne in late 2008.

 

These are their releases, with their debut album due out June 19th in Australia. There is a lot of hype surrounding them, and they are being labelled the 'best thing to come out of Australia' in the past 10 years.

 

2006: The Temper Trap [Ep]

 

2008: Sweet Disposition [single]

 

2009: Science Of Fear [single]

 

2009: Conditions (Out June 19)

 

Also, The BBC chose The Temper Trap on its top 15 Sound of 2009.

Can't wait to hear them

I heard them live when they were supporting Franz Ferdinand in Melb back in January. I was very impressed. They have the 'stadium' sound.

i've been reading some very very mixed reviews of their debut album. their EP's and recent singles have set the bar extremely high for this album. i'm not going to settle with the reviews, i'll this record a listen myself when it comes out. but ive got the feeling i will be dissapointed.

 

and according to that review, Sweet Disposition is about as good as it gets, sooo ehh i dunno.

I heard Sweet Disposition on the radio last week and loved it so checked out their myspace page pronto...the tracks on there are really good...lost love is prob my fave...

 

..they seem a promising band, so I'll defo be d/loading the album whenever I spot it on amazon here :thumbsup:

listened to another 3 tracks (cant remember the names) from the album tonight. not exactly blown away by them, some are rather plain. nonetheless i will give the album a chance when it comes out next week.

Can I count on a link to this in the multimedia room next week?

Possibly... I may pop out to get it on Sunday from JB. Where are people hearing the new tracks early?

Triple J's music director Richard Kingsmill played a few tracks from the album tonight on his new releases show. he will do a proper interview with the band next weekend.

New track (Fader) up on myspace - it's only gonna be up a few days...

 

:thumbsup:

Holy shit that song is good.

Naw, I'm gonna wait it out for the record and hear it in full then (which shouldn't be too long now, not too long at all). No point in having too many spoilers

I already heard most of it live in the flesh, so.......

For those interested, it leaked today.

*is very interested* :cool:

 

Leaked where..?

Torrents. But it's out now officially, so...

Urgh - I don't do Torrent...:thumbsdown:

 

I'd better look for it on amazon when I get time...:)

 

 

edit; Bah, physical release in UK = 3rd August....crap....

Erm... :thinking: http://www.abc.net.au/rage

 

Edit - Nevermind, it appears they're re-made the video. Why? Who knows, seems a bit pointless to me seeing as Sweet Disposition wasn't released that long ago. Wouldn't it make more sense to release a new track as the next single?

i guess they think they can stir up alot of attention by flogging the life out of Sweet Disposition. having heard about half of the album so far, sweet disposition is heads and shoulders above everything else.

 

triple j has hardly supported this band and i think thats going to make it alot harder for them to make the big time. they chose the new Gossip album over temper trap as the feature album of this week.

*raises hands in submission*

 

i have been proven wrong. this album is pretty awesome maybe not the best aussie album of the year but its bloody good. they have a bit of decoder ring in them.

 

a solid 7.5/10 from me :)

Hm... I'm the opposite. I expected great things from this record and was quite disappointed. The only track I really like is Science of Fear and I prefer the single version. Rest is also pretty good, really catchy but you have to admit the song itself is a bit of a joke.
