Trapt  Trapt is an American rock band formed in Los Gatos, California. It consists of lead vocalist Chris Taylor Brown, bassist Peter "Pete" Charell, guitarist Brendan Hengle, and drummer Mike Smith. They have recorded seven studio albums to date: "Amalgamation" (1999), "Trapt" (2002), "Someone in Control" (2005), "Only Through the Pain" (2008), "No Apologies" (2010), "Reborn" (2013), and "DNA" (2016). The members of Trapt met in middle school in the mid-'90s, and were in an early NOFX cover band with Manny Terres (guitar) and Aaron Azlant (lead vocals) called the Swinging Udders. Shortly thereafter, the band reformed and developed an act with Chris Taylor Brown (lead vocals), Simon Ormandy (guitar), Peter "Pete" Charell (bass), and David Stege (drums). The band's first few rehearsals were in Ormandy's guesthouse, which had a party-like atmosphere with its loft overlooking the living room. They began playing at local venues in 1997 before any members had graduated high school. In 1998, still before graduation, they were already opening for up-and-coming fellow acts like Papa Roach. They recorded and released their first CD, "Amalgamation" in 1999, which they sold at their live shows. Their second release, the "Glimpse EP", came in 2000, and another EP, 2001's self-titled "Trapt", served as the band's demo. The debut independent release by Trapt, released in June 1999 and sold only in the Los Gatos, California area. In 2001, the band signed with Warner Bros. Records and started recording their debut album, with Robin Diaz replacing Stege on the drums. On November 5, 2002 the band released their self-titled album, "Trapt", which produced a total of three singles. Before releasing their next full-length album, the band released a self-titled three-track EP, released March 30, 2004, that included live versions of the "Made of Glass" and "Echo" tracks from their debut album, as well as a previously unreleased non-LP track, "Promise". Their second full-length album, titled "Someone in Control", was released September 13, 2005. It produced three singles for the band: "Stand Up", "Waiting", and "Disconnected (Out of Touch)".
