“Rabble rousing indie rockers creating razor-sharp, soapbox post-punk” – Q Magazine
“Intense, dark, brooding and artful” – Clash Magazine
Following the release of their ‘Silent Men’ EP in April, Dundee indie band The Mirror Trap are heading out on the road across the UK this week to play a string of shows.
The band have streamed their new EP in full today on Soundcloud and also released a new video, shot on tour with Placebo last month, for title track, ‘Silent Men’. This popular anthem is a personal story about a man who lost his job, his social standing, his authority as the head of his family, and ultimately his pride, explained here by frontman Gary Moore:
“If you turn on the news or pick up a newspaper you will more than likely be met with story about how immigrants and the lazy unemployed are a curse on the nation. With ‘Silent Men’ I wanted to write something that went against this rhetoric. Men like him are out there in vast numbers, they are the opposite of the “free-loading jobless layabouts” that we so often hear about, but no one ever speaks about them. If no one else was going to do it then I thought I might as well.”
