Trapt is a rock band from Los Gatos, California, United States. The band formed in 1995, recording DIY CDs they sold at local gigs.
In 1998 the group split with the members graduating from high school, and leaving to attend college. They were reunited in 2000 when they dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles to work on their music. Trapt signed to Warner Bros. in late 2001 and released their first studio album, Trapt, in 2002. It contained the hits "Headstrong" and "Still Frame". "Headstrong" was the official theme song of WWE's Bad Blood pay-per-view event in June 2003. American actress Michelle Trachtenberg appears in the music video for their third single, "Echo".
They were influenced by Metallica, KoЯn and Soundgarden during the mid-90's.
Trapt has currently finished the production on their second album, Someone in Control, which was released on September 13, 2005. The first single from the album, "Stand Up", can be heard on the band's website. The song "Stand Up" was created when the band kept getting emails, calls and when they kept hearing about people getting beaten up and "...just sort of taking it."
