A polished, mainstream alternative rock act.
It was 2009 when the then little-known band from Melbourne, Australia, burst onto the scene with the release of their seminal debut album Conditions, and a song called ‘Sweet Disposition’. Their emotive, cinematic soundscapes – expansive yet still accessible - resonated quickly with fans across the globe. ‘Sweet Disposition’ topped charts worldwide, with platinum certifications in Australia, America, Europe and the UK. Popular follow-ups ‘Love Lost’, ‘Science of Fear’ and ‘Fader’ cemented the band’s new-found status as one of the most sought after acts in the world. Soon, The Temper Trap were playing sold-out headline shows across oceans and hitting some of the biggest festival stages globally – including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Big Day Out, Laneway Festival and more. Years on, with well over a billion streams and three albums to their name (including two ARIA #1's The Temper Trap and Thick As Thieves), their music continues to inspire. Recent times have seen a resurgence of love for the band including the aforementioned ‘Love Lost’ collab on Mac Miller’s posthumously re-released Faces mixtape & a slew of remixes for ‘Sweet Disposition’ totalling hundreds of millions of streams. Now, with the release of ‘Lucky Dimes’ & 'Giving Up Air' - the first in a string of music to follow - The Temper Trap embark on an exciting new era, one that promises to resonate as deeply as the songs that first captivated the world 15 years ago.
