Several musicians accompanied this idea born in the hours-bridge of the Faculty of Architecture during the winter of 1990 to generate the story of a band that has performed live by all country rock circuit.
The characteristic sound of TRAP embraces the rock with fury to a milonga with his phrasing, the punk at its simplicity, and the Malambo, the tango and the waltz with the legacy of a soundscape River Plate and inescapable.
Originally, the trap begins releasing a demo-promo recorded in the studios of "The Baton" in August 1991 that included four tracks ("double-edged sword," "Waltz" "Kisses and silences" and "Mother of flowers") and thus gets into some local radios delas. In 1992 the band sings about the author Eduardo Darnauchans establishing a relationship that would culminate with the presentation of the trap and Darnauchans in the Sala Verdi of Montevideo.
In May 1994 , after three years of concerts and group work, the band is installed in the halls of "Studio Records" to record their first studio album, "The Touch Trap And Forces" which was published in January 1995 by the Orfeo label, and after selling over a thousand plates are exhausted, it is impossible today to get original copies of that work. During 1995 debut album received rave reviews TRAP. By then, the trap had already self-released the video for "Waltz" (1991) who was one of the first Uruguayan clips broadcast by MTV's international channel. Also in 1995, includes the song "Sweet Torment" in the salad "The Best of Rock Uruguayo" published by the Monitor label next to the main bands of the medium. In 1996
is persuaded to join the CD "Strange Visions", conceived by its editors as a tribute to "The Stomach" and participates with an original version of "In The Night", a song that was accompanied a video produced by the band which reflects some of the symbolism of the Uruguayan rock of the eighties.
The year of big changes was undoubtedly 1997. The mega festival presentation in April at the Teatro de Verano: "Rock of Here" was the harbinger of what would follow.
TRAP published in October 1997 his second CD, "Skull" in co-production with the seal Ayu, running its first edition in the first month of sales. The presentation of the album took place in The Factory, with a capacity filled. "Calaveras" was chosen by the audience of X FM and most of the radio staff, as best national album of 1997.
During 1999 TRAP composed and recorded his third album, "Resurrection" with the seal Koala Records. The presentation of the album took place in The Factory, a full house and with the support of the local branch of Amnesty International; situation which comes from the inclusion in the album artwork and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights its 50 anniversary. Along with the CD, we present the video "Damn" supporting the spread of the first track. The year 2002 receive a new disc of the trap, "Free Fall."
In 2002 celebrate their 10 years as a result of the two shows offered in the theater Workshops Don Bosco take "Face to Face", his first live album.
