Penge-based hyper rockers Flytrap have shared their debut single titled ‘Gutted’ via Big Richard Records (Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Lost Lyra, Kipper Gillespie). The track was produced and mixed by Spencer Withey at Farmroad Studios in Brighton, with additional mixing by Alex (from the band) and mastering by Harry Hayes of Studio Nunn.
Some of the band being friends since birth, others joining on via their joint college experience, Flytrap is Alex Stevens (guitar), Hannah Dobbs (guitar, vocals), Hasan Naqvi (bass guitar) and Arthur Mazandarani (drums). Ollie Kelly also contributed violin & synth tracks to this recording, although they are no longer part of the band, being switched about with Lizzie Drummond who is joining the band live on keys / synth, although is not featured on this recording.
Guitarist Alex Stevens comments about the track:
“The on-stage sound is pretty similar – we recorded it live and just threw in some overdubs after!”
Frantic, youthful energy fizzes and crackles before bursting out of the speakers, a swirling sonic mess that engulfs a nonchalant Hannah Dobbs’s vocals. It’s cool, messy, and exciting—which is not something that can be said about a lot of stuff out there.
