See also Australia. But I think of Wales in the same way. 60 Foot Dolls, The Sick Livers and Deathtraps, plus many others, have a habit of penning earworms that hit hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as you start making your Christmas list, Deathtraps release the third and final instalment in their \u2018666\u2019 EP collection. That makes 18 bangers, spread over 3 CDs. As expected, there\u2019s no time to waste, no chaff, straight in with \u2018People Like You\u2019, and the chant of \u201cpeople like you need people like me\u201d is essentially Mot\u00f6rhead head-butting The Hives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The One That Got Away\u2019 has a poppier edge. \u201cYou can be my poster girl, I can be your dirty secret\u201d, is like a Jonesy riff, as is \u2018Freak Out\u2019. A lot of bands try and fail at this stuff, but you can trust the boys to pull it off (ooer, e.t.c). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I Used To Read The NME\u2019 manages to resurrect the line \u201cdo you wanna be in my gang?\u201d without causing any trauma. \u2018Pop Song Singalong\u2019 is as catchy as Dirtbox Disco used to be, and \u2018Kissy Face (Feel Bad Hit Of The Summer)\u2019 is over four minutes long, but there\u2019ll be no flute workouts here! \u201cSun\u2019s out, scum\u2019s out\u2026\u201d sets the tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, head on over to Bandcamp for a listen. You can even order all 3 EPs if you missed out. The perfect stocking filler. Rock, actually recorded in a garage. Remember, it\u2019s not available in the shops, so get your order in now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/deathtraps.bandcamp.com\/?search_item_id%3D1591030271%26search_item_type%3Db%26search_match_part%3D%253F%26search_page_id%3D4896381655%26search_page_no%3D0%26search_rank%3D1=\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/deathtraps.bandcamp.com\/?search_item_id%3D1591030271%26search_item_type%3Db%26search_match_part%3D%253F%26search_page_id%3D4896381655%26search_page_no%3D0%26search_rank%3D1=\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Martin Chamarette<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often say there\u2019s something in the water in Sweden, with their glut of great, noisy bands with hooks aplenty.
