Tri-State Rock - Latest Updates

“Did you miss us?  We missed you,” said Dougy Mandagi, frontman of The Temper Trap, to the spirited crowd at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. 

Three long years have passed since the Australian band released their debut album, Conditions, to acclamatory reviews.  In anticipation of the release of their self-titled sophomore album, The Temper Trap took to the road, introducing new songs at SXSW music festival, then to multitudes over a sold-out North American tour.  On Thursday night, fans in Brooklyn found it nearly impossible to bate giddy enthusiasm for the ARIA award-winning band’s return. 

Australia’s top indie rock band, The Temper Trap, released the first single of their second album, “The Temper Trap” this past Friday. “Need Your Love” can be listened to here.“Need Your Love” is not the first taste of their second album that has been offered thus far. Recently, the Temper Trap leaked “Rabbit Hole” on their website for their adoring fans and can be seen below.

Recorded in Los Angeles at the Sound Factory, “The Temper Trap” will be dropping on May 18^th in Australia and on May 21^st in Europe. Unfortunately, American fans will have to wait 2 weeks until June 5^th to get their own copy of the 12-track disc. It will be their first album including all five members, as Joseph Greer was recently welcomed as a permanent addition as keyboardist and guitarist.
