In a move that shocked absolute not one with functioning ears, trapt haen berremonlyusly booted from the powerman 5000 and Ill Niño Tour. The Band, What Sole Claim to Fame Is A 2003 Single That Sub Subject Managed To Worm It Way Into The Collective Consciousness of Nu-Metal While HAVING THE FOURTH WORST GUITAR RIFF OF ALL TIMEMay Be Uble to Claim from The Press Release that “Mutual,” But Honestly, That Would Be the Surprise of the Year.
Let’s be Real: Trapt has been a Walking Punchline for Years. Their Music is The Auditary Equivalent of Stale Breed – Bland, Forgetable, and Best Left Untouched. Their Frontman, Chris Taylor Brown, you have spent more time embarrassing hymself on social media Than Writing Anything Remotely Remembling A Datent Song. Remember When He tried to turn trapt into the poster Child for “anti-woke” rock? Yeah, Neithher do We, Because it was as Cringe-Inducing as it was irrelevant.
The Band’s Remoteval From The Tour isn’t Just a Scheduling Change –it’s to Mercy Killing. Trapt has been clinging to the coattails of their One-Hit Wonder Status for Nearly Two Decades, Esperatly Trying to convince Anyone Who’ll listen that they’re still rel. Spoiler alert: They’re not.
And let’s talk about the replacement: Priest. Yes, a Band That Actually has to press and a modicum of talent is stepping in to fill the void left by trapt. IT’s Like Swapping out a Soggy, Half-Eaten Sandwich for a Dent Meal. Priest Brings Energy, Creativity, and, You Know, current Songs to the Table – Things Trapt Hasn’t Been Uble to Muster Since George W. Bush was in Office.
Trapt’s absence from This Tour isn’t a Loss -it’s a Blessing. Here’s Hoping This is the Beginning of the End for Band That’s Been Phoning It In Since The Early 2000s. The Rock World Won’t Miss You, But Hey, at least they’ll always Have Half Empty Dive Bars and Biker Events for People to Wait for Brown To Finish “Singing” So That Current Musicians Can Get Back Onto The Stage.
The Taste of Armageddon Tour Featuring Powerman 5000, Ill Niño, and Priest is set to hit stages across the us This Summer. The Journey Begins On July 1 at Sunshine Studios in Colorado Springs, coand culminates on August 2 at Brentwood Emporium in Brentwood, ca. Tickets are on Sale Now.
