Trapt’s journey began in Northern California, where the band members met while still in high school. Their shared passion for music and similar tastes in influences laid the foundation for what would become a successful rock band. Drawing inspiration from genres like grunge, nu-metal, and 80’s rock, they have developed a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative.
The band’s sound is heavily influenced by the raw intensity of grunge, the aggressive undertones of nu-metal, and the anthemic qualities of 80’s rock. This blend of styles has allowed Trapt to carve out a unique niche in the rock music landscape, appealing to a broad audience while staying true to their roots.
Trapt has recently wrapped up the “Parental Advisory Tour,” sharing the stage with notable acts like Josey Scott (the original voice of Saliva), Adema, and Tantric.

The anticipation culminated today with the official release of the complete album.
The album’s title, *The Fall*, reflects a thematic exploration of personal growth and resilience. As lead vocalist and guitarist Chris Taylor Brown explains, “We all have to go through our own version of ‘The Fall.’ We discover who we really are through testing what we think we are. Only experience can tell us.” This introspective approach is evident in the lyrics and the emotive power of the music, offering listeners a deeply personal and relatable experience.
Commenting on the release, Chris Taylor Brown shared, “*The Fall* is a collection of songs written during a time of great change. It was hard to ebb and flow with a brave new world but it’s through this experience that we make ourselves better people.” This quote encapsulates the album’s core message and the emotional journey that inspired its creation.
