One of Sheffield's brightest new local bands continued their rise to stardom at the Leadmill.

Trap 2's rapidly growing loyal army of fans made the pilgrimage to the 'Mill to witness the six piece unleash a powerful display of indie rock.

The progress the band have made in the last year was immediately evident, with singer Mike Hughs delaying his entrance onto the stage showing they are growing increasingly confident in using the tricks of the trade.

However Hughs' tricks didn't stop there. A brilliant range and a love of shaking his wavey mop make him the perfect frontman.

The rest of the band each play their part magnificently contributing to the dynamic sound which is Trap 2's most predominant feature.

Songs like "Get yourself Together" and "Don't want it to Stop" were notable high points - concise pieces of rock which blend contemporary influences with a brilliantly bluesy guitar.

Trap 2 are living proof that there is plenty of life left in the guitar band, especially when performed with such vigour and enthusiasm, not to mention a visible hunger that seems to be growing as fast as their reputation.
