Honeytrap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honeytrap are a soft rock band from Coventry, England. Originally named Mawda, they formed in November 2001 at the University of Warwick. In October 2005, the band were reborn as Honeytrap at a gig in Coventry's popular Tin Angel bar. At this point they dropped many fan favourite songs such as Money Is Your God, Blood Lips and Get The Fuck Off My Radio.
The band line-up consists of Big Dan (songwriter/lead guitar/lead singer), Little Dan (violin/vocals), Matt Triangle (bass/vocals) and Sam Dawe (drums).
The band have toured widely within England, mostly around the Coventry and London areas. As a duo, Big and Little Dan have toured in New York and Spain under the name Honeytrap, with an upcoming tour of Japan in April 2007. They have released several records independently (see Discography below), but since renaming themselves they have been signed to local indie label Tough Love Records. They have released one single and one EP through Tough Love.

[edit] Press Coverage
Until early 2007, the band largely operated without recognition from the national music press. However, their latest release, "Let's Do Naked Dancing", has started to receive airplay on Steve Lamacq's BBC Radio 6 show and London's XFM. Favourable reviews have also been forthcoming in low profile music magazines and websites.
On March 16th 2007 David Bowie put Honeytrap's single "Mussolini’s Son" top of his listening list in his weekly column for The Times[1]
