London is a difficult place to be creative.
The city is becoming more and more expensive, with sky-rocketing rent pushing more and more young musicians out to the fringes.
Bare Traps resigned themselves to living in Harrow, right at the full stop of the Bakerloo Line. It's cheap and cheerful – and it provides an important base for four young musicians.
Playing hit 'n' run shows across the capital, the band have built up a lightning quick set that is heavy on hooks and saturated with fun.
New cut 'The Best Of This' is an impeccable introduction. Bare Traps make crisp, assured pop music, something you can sing along to, something you can dream about.
Sugar-coated chorus lines and sighing, bittersweet lyrics, you can check it out below.
