BOSTON, MA [December, 2022] – It’s often interesting to see music eventually catch up to a band. A quick scroll through press coverage of Luxury Deathtrap since the Boston trio dropped its 2018 self-titled debut album yields several mentions of a certain throwback sound, something that recalls the grunge intensity and alternative rock drama of the halcyon ‘90s. But in the four years since, Luxury Deathtrap’s emotive and impassioned guitar-rock sound is, rather suddenly, fully rooted in the now; dramatic tension builds, with piercing heights matched by shadowy depths, and singles boasting extended run times that spit in the eye of our modern-day attention economy. Luxury Deathtrap’s music takes hold, and only lets go on its own terms.
"Technogrip wonderfully captures the kinetic intersection of grunge, post-hardcore, and alternative metal." - Vanyaland read more
"Moment to Breathe" is a five-plus-minute, guitar-driven, sonic roller coaster ride featuring male and female vocal harmonies alongside dynamic and melodic, post-rock guitar work. The lyrical content centers around the reality of the world currently being different than we would have ever thought with advancements in technology and an overabundance of news media. ." - New Noise Magazine read more
"A majority of the ep, including songs like, "Sinking Ship," and "Retreater," are full of heavy guitar riffs and Nirvana-esque vibes that catapult you into what I'm sure would have been present in a dark, beer-stained underground venue in '94." - Boston Hassle read more
