Trap Them have been churning out their own breed of genre-straddling metal and hardcore since founding guitarist Brian Izzi and vocalist Ryan McKenney met while working at a record store in New Hampshire in 2001. They recorded a few songs as a side project from their band Backstabbers, Inc. and Brian’s band December Wolves, but in 2006 the guys decided to make Trap Them a full-time project and released their first album, 2007’s Sleepwell Deconstructor, which was produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou. Brian plays a First Act Sheena guitar.
