The members of the band Trapt say they aren’t about image. Only one tiny picture of the band is on their recent CD “Trapt,” and it’s still difficult to tell them apart. Bass player Pete Charell and singer Chris Brown said they wanted to add a little mystery to their major-label debut, and they want listeners to focus on the music. “We pretty much don’t even look like we’re in a band,” Charell said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We don’t wear leather pants and studs all over the place. We just kind of look like most of… Read more »

For Tyson Ritter, a reprieve from his songwriting muse helped make “The Last Song” such a pleasure to pen. “I got inspired to write something that wasn’t about an all-girl topic,” the All-American Rejects singer/bassist said. “Every other song [on the band’s self-titled debut] is about one girl, so to put a song on the album that wasn’t about her, that made it a little extra special.” The second single off The All-American Rejects is one of Ritter’s favorite tracks, inspirational… Read more »

It’s saturated in nostalgia and nods to shoegaze influences which haven’t been acknowledged on prior releases.” In 2023, the trio released their EP Mishaps Of My Mid Twenties, which vocalist Jack Voss… Read more »
