If you have heard of Temper Trap, it is likely because of the breakthrough success of their 2009 hit single, "Sweet Disposition". The song featured in the movie (500) Days of Summer, and seems to have been in the background for every car/drink/sport commercial between 2009-2010. The success brought international attention to the Australian indie rock band (Dougy Mandagi on vocals, Jonathon Aherne on bass, Toby Dundas on drums, Lorenzo Sillitto on guitar, and Joseph Greer on keyboard/guitar) and added to acclaim for the group's debut album, Conditions. Their self-titled second album is scheduled for release later this year, and promises to build on the successful fusion of Mandagi's powerfully eerie wail-of-a-falsetto with U2-like instrumentation that makes Conditions such an impressive first effort.
Yes, "Sweet Disposition" is a fantastic song, but make sure you check out a couple of Temper Trap's other great tunes . I am particularly fond of the the videos for "Love Lost", and the acoustic SXSW session of "Fader" provided below. You can download these tracks for yourself by clicking on the blue text above. Also, for anyone who loved the80's, and Karate Kid movies, I'm sure you will get a kick out of the video for "I Need Your Love", the pre-released first single from the upcoming album, "Temper Trap" .
