The Traps will release their new single The Honey Drip on May 13th on Speech Fewapy Records. The single is the follow up to January’s debut single Calypso.

The Honey Drip’s metronomic bassline and drumbeat allow the guitar and piano hooks to reign free throughout the song, while the band’s trademark melodies and harmonies drench the choruses. With a climactic outro laden with trumpets, saxophones, throbbing synths and heavy guitar hooks, The Honey Drip has become one of the standout songs from their live shows.
This morning saw New York’s Don’t Need No Melody be the first to review the track – http://dontneednomelody.com/2013/04/15/song-premiere-the-traps-the-honey-drip/
