Trapt's First Single "Who's Going Home With You Tonight" Debuts on Xbox LIVE With Great Fanfare via World Video Premiere
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, CA, June 11 / MARKET WIRE/ --
In support of their new single "Who's Going
Home With You Tonight," which impacted radio this week, multi-Platinum
rockers Trapt ("Headstrong," "Stillframe," "Stand Up") premiered a new
music video for the song as a free download on Xbox LIVE for the month of
June. "Exposing our new music while debuting our new video on Xbox LIVE is
the perfect balance of music meets entertainment. It fits our lifestyle as
a band," says Chris Taylor Brown (lead vocals/guitar). The video can be
accessed for the rest of the month by visiting:

"Who's Going Home With You Tonight" (from the upcoming "Only Through The
Pain" due everywhere on August 5, 2008), was directed by Paul Brown (M?tley
Cr?e, Marilyn Manson) and features lead vocalist Chris Taylor Brown telling
the tale of a cheating girlfriend from his own perspective by exposing his
cheating ex with three different men. It's a raw and unique male
perspective on romance, relationships, and the nuances in between, keeping
Trapt's rock edge while displaying the captivating songwriting
sensibilities which have led to over 2 million albums sold since the band's
inception.
As an exciting twist, three "trailers" for "Who's Going Home With You
Tonight" have been created, offering a back-story to the actual music
video. These clips have caused a literal viral sensation amongst fans of
the band. Each trailer showcases a different, torrid affair that has been a
web of deceit spun by the video's starring character, which the band cast
especially for the role. Fans have been left wondering just how personal
this video is, and responded accordingly via TRAPT's new social networking
site: www.onlythroughthepain.com.

With the Xbox LIVE debut now part of history, Trapt are currently preparing
for the launch of the Cr?e Fest tour, on which they will share the bill
with M?tley Cr?e, Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Sixx:A.M. The 40-plus-city
tour kicks off on July 1, 2008. Nikki Sixx, President of Trapt's label,
Eleven Seven Music, handpicked them to join the tour.
All of this activity has the 4-piece band poised and ready for the release
their third studio album since their highly successful 2002 self-titled
debut, which included Billboard's #1 US Modern Rock & #1 US Mainstream Rock
single, "Headstrong." That album made such an impact on the current modern
rock atmosphere that the songs continue to permeate North American airwaves
today. As such, TRAPT returned to the studio to create an album that
appreciates the guiding principles of modern rock, but also tests the
boundaries of what that actually means in 2008.
With "Only Through The Pain," Trapt have clearly succeeded.
