Luxury Deathtrap

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.
