Temper Trap get Japanese distribution via Hostess
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 6 May 2009
Recently revived UK indie label Infectious have confirmed a licensing deal with Japan’s Hostess Entertainment for their first signing, Australians The Temper Trap. The band’s debut album will be released via Hostess in Japan in late summer, after they appear at the country’s Summer Sonic festival. Hostess boss Andrew Lazonby says: “Both on record and live The Temper Trap have got what it takes to deliver in a very big way. There really hasn’t been a more complete new band in recent times – from writing, to performing to pure attitude, so we’re honoured to be working alongside Infectious to help introduce them here”.
