From the first track of Makin' It the BT's are channelling The Who circa '65, Diddley Wrong a skull bustin' Bo beat shaker, Long Way To Go a tough soul dance stomper, Searchin' a harmony soaked Mamas & Papas inspired tune and Bad Reaction a snarling fuzz killer in typical '66 North West style...this is just a snap shot of the how this buzzin' beer coaster is going to hit your sub-woofers!
"Sneering Shangri-las inspired girl-group, meets the fuzz monsters from the garage. Primevil and raw, with a lead singer thats equal parts Gerry Roslie (of Sonics fame) and wild cat hillbilly. Go see em, theyre great to watch. You'll dance and shake, you'll be revived". - Timewarp Newsletter
"If youre looking for some chick fuzz pop to go go with catchy songs you can play loud at your next party without the guests leaving immediately, go ahead and check the Booby Traps out!!" - Low Cut..34
"The Booby Traps would have to be the hardest working garage band currently playing the Sydney circuit. Theyre great at what they do and that whole accelerator-down, chicks-with-flick knives feel that their music has, is pretty special. A Booby Traps show is always an enjoyable one. Plenty of sixties garage comin at you. Screaming, nasty vocals, warm fuzzy guitar that takes me to a time when Boss Hoss and Skinny Minny let the good times roll. Sweet melodies and drumbeats that come from the heart of all things garage. The Booby Traps were rockin and rollin and the only thing the crowd were left with were extremely sore feet. Mod escapees from a Russ Meyer flick!" - Faster Louder 2004-2005
