Trapt - "Who's Going Home With You Tonight?"


Who's Going Home With You Tonight? - TRAPT

A little while ago I asked a certain "alter ego" to suggest a band I am not currently listening to who I should be paying some attention to. The first CD he gave me was Trapt "Only Through the Pain" CD. This is the song that I found myself listening to the most, "Who's Going Home With You Tonight?".

Trapt - featuring Simon Ormandy on guitar, Peter Charell on bass, Aaron Montgomery on drums and Chris Brown on vocals and guitar - were born in the quiet San Jose suburb of Los Gatos, California. On their forthcoming self-titled debut, produced by Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine), the band blends grinding hard rock with shifting melodies and dense, intricate rhythms that still maintain a pop sensibility.

I really enjoy the breakdown in the the song where drums vacate and your left with a heart pounding, yet subtle club beat. It has a certain effect that allows the song to breathe a little before kicking back up. Chris Browns voice has a certain quality to it. It is a little rasp mixed in with a melodic tone.

The video pretty much follows the song lyrics, boy likes girl, girl and boy go home to bake cookies, girl then brings other boys home to bake cookies as well, original boy questions all the baked cookies.

I must admit, at first I was not thrilled with this band, but then I listened again and found I do like this song. So it just goes to show you, sometimes first impressions are wrong.
