\"\"<\/a>Album #3 from Newport\u2019s finest exponents of gutter-level rock \u2018n\u2019 roll is finally here and it\u2019s worth the wait bruthas and sistas! Deathtraps formed after a chance meeting between two ex Sick Livers and a Flyscreen at a Dwarves gig in the summer of 2016, and Veej(vocals\/guitar), Matty (drums) and Fraser (vocals\/bass) haven\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n

Riding on two killer albums, namely 2017\u2019s \u2018Justice For The Risca One\u2019 and 2018\u2019s sophomore \u2018Gotta Get Some\u2019 the scuzzy three-piece offer up their new long player \u2018Stole Your Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll\u2019 and what a glorious slab of filthy noise it is too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDeathtraps stole your rock \u2018n\u2019 roll and they play it much better than you\u201d they scream in the title track. \u201cBut who did they steal it from?\u201d I hear you cry. Well, maybe they stole the beat from the lord or they sold their souls to the devil at Risca junction, but whatever happened, they sound like Turbonegro dry-humping The Hellacopters with their middle finger shoved so far up Motorhead\u2019s ass it\u2019ll come out bleeding, yeah they\u2019re that good! Think Zeke, think MC5 or \u2018Total 13\u2019era Backyard Babies, think turbo-charged rock \u2018n\u2019 roll of the highest order and you\u2019ll be getting close muthafuckers!<\/p>\n

It starts with a brutal assault on the senses with their anti-love song \u2018Let\u2019s Fall Out Of Love\u2019 and doesn\u2019t let up for the following 35 minutes or so. An earful of dirty guitars, a mouthful of blood, spit & beers and catchy hooks aplenty. This is the sound of Motorhead jamming with the finest rock \u2018n\u2019 roll bands that Scandanavia has to offer.<\/p>\n

With songs about killing, self-destruction and unfortunate oral encounters delivered at breakneck speed, \u2018Stole Your Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll\u2019 is not for the faint-hearted. It\u2019s for those who like their music hard, fast and loud.<\/p>\n

The cool kids will love \u2018Fuck The Cool Kids\u2019, with its bass rumble, AC\/DC riffage and high energy delivery. The punks will dig \u2018Too Fast To Last\u2019 a song that has \u2018em coming on like a Welsh Hip Priests. And anyone who has ever donned a biker jacket in the name of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll will get down to any song that name-checks Runaways members and the band\u2019s own deprived introduction to the queen of the Blackhearts herself. Yes, \u2018Joan Jett\u2019 has a chorus so simple yet effective, you\u2019ll be humming it all week, while scouring Ebay for a copy of \u2018I Hate Myself For Loving You\u2019 on 7\u201d vinyl. And that\u2019s a mighty fine place to be in my book. What\u2019s not to like here?<\/p>\n

Top track for me has to be \u2018Tastes Like Blood\u2019. It sounds like Turbonegro ripping off The Wildhearts (again), a glorious gang vocal chorus and riffs to matchmakes this an album highlight any day of the week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The thing that sets Deathtraps apart from the gazillions of trashy punk bands, is their use of melody. They have the fine art of a catchy chorus nailed. Yeah, they are raw and fast, but the sing-ability of the likes of \u2018Backstabbing For Beginners\u2019\u00a0 and \u2018The Devil and Me\u2019 will keep you singing and banging the head that doesn\u2019t bang for days.<\/p>\n

\u2018Stole Your Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll\u2019 is a shot of adrenaline straight to the jugular. It\u2019s a high energy, euphoric collection of songs and fucking enjoyable from start to finish, job done.<\/p>\n
