"Scotlands most accomplished Math-Rock act" - The Scotsman

 Trapped in Kansas:

Trapped In Kansas formed in 2008 and have been on one of the most exciting journey’s ever since. This four piece hailing from Scotland, Ireland and England have become one of the most talked about and critically praised bands of the past year in Scotland. Chris, Finn, Gregor and Iain create mathematically intricate music that is not only thought provoking but also sonically magnificent.

Within the first day of Trapped In Kansas making their recordings public they were offered a slot at King Tuts. Since then they have not looked back and have played festivals such as goNorth, T In The Park, Rockness, headlined Oxjam and have also done live sessions for Radio 1 and Air 3. They have also supported such notable artists as Mimas, Tubelord, Pulled Apart By Horses, The Temper Trap, This Town Needs Guns and Rolo Tomassi.

2010 sees their journey continuing with a single release in production and countless live shows Trapped In Kansas have cemented their reputation on the Scottish music network and it will only be a short matter of time before they cause as much of a stir much further afield.

‘Both ‘Antlers’ and ‘The Idiot’ are cut from a different cloth from your standard 4/4 time, 12-bar rock. Instead the guitar lines bleed off in countless directions like dabs of watercolour paint, while the rhythm slinks through unfathomable shifts and progressions.’  The Scotsman

‘Acute melodic sensibility and complex blend of airy jazziness with truckloads of intricate guitar-work’  The List

‘They channel the spirit of the Mars Volta away from the excesses of jazz obscurantism and towards the relative safety of post-rock. Some impressive fret-board virtuosity’  The Skinny

‘Scotland’s most accomplished math rock act’  Under the Radar
