 Nowadays in order to stand out bands mix a lot of music ideas in their sound, but not all succeed in doing it properly. Scottish outfit The Mirror Trap have a particular know-how for embracing a lot of inspirations and turning them all into something so truly special, that you’ll have not much choice other than to surrender. The band consists of Gary 'The Panther' Moore on vocals, Michael 'John' McFarlane and Paul Markie on guitars, Paul 'Drums' Reilly on drums and Ben Doherty on bass. The Mirror Trap’s debut album ‘The Last Great Melodrama’ (released 2011) was a taste of the band’s talent and approach to making music in their own charismatic way. In 2014 there came their sophomore ‘Stay Young’ and the stakes are high as never before. The Mirror Trap’s identity stands up proud and unique not only in their truly inimitable sound, but also in wit and intelligence of their lyrics. They immediately make you feel at home with them by addressing life issues and being inspired by life events. The musicians show that they’re not just a bunch of guys in pursue of fun, but have some serious substance in everything The-Mirror-Trap-wise. The band have a lot to say and are not afraid of speaking their minds, being who they really are, following the ‘take it or leave it’ principle. Positioning honesty as the most important thing for them, The Mirror Trap never pretend, but on the contrary are absolutely real and totally themselves. Isn’t it precious to see the collective who make music not in order to earn loads of money, but to leave a mark in people’s hearts?
