Release Notes:
Taking their name from the acronym for the aviation term Time Reference Angle of
Arrival Measurement System, the Chichester, West Sussex-based post-punk
revivalist trio TRAAMS feature singer/guitarist Stuart Hopkins, drummer Adam
Stock, and bassist Leigh Padley. The bandmembers met at Goo, a DJ night Hopkins
hosted at a bar in nearby Bognor Regis, where he spun songs by Wire, New Order,
and Le Tigre along with mainstream pop and rap hits. Bonding over their shared
taste in music -- which also included a fondness for McLusky, Pavement,
Television, and Kraftwerk -- they began playing as TRAAMS in mid-2011 and
recorded some Krautrock-meets-punk demos on their phone. They sent the demos to
producer and former Test Icicles member Rory Atwell, and recorded their first
set of songs with him in November 2011. They continued working with him through
2012, and also signed with Fat Cat that year. Early in 2013, they recorded with
Hookworms' Matthew Johnson at his Leeds studio and released the Ladders EP that
June. TRAAMS' first full-length, Grin, appeared that September. The band
reunited with Atwell for the Cissa EP, which arrived in July 2014. After
relocating to Leeds, TRAAMS worked with Johnson again on their second album,
Modern Dancing, which arrived in late 2015.
