We’re nothing but excited to welcome Tender Trap to Team Slumberland! Taken from their forthcoming long player Dansette Dansette, “Girls With Guns” shows off the newly propulsive, harmony-heavy edge that Tender Trap have acquired with the addition of Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’ (fuzzy guitar) and Katrina Dixon (stand-up drums). The new line-up appears to have rejuvenated Amelia’s song-writing: gone is the more contemplative pop classicism of recent years to be replaced by a riot grrrl-esque tale of sisterhood and revenge that wouldn’t be out of place among the punkest moments of her previous outfits. While guitars and drums rush by in a blur, Amelia and her new girl crew swear a cold-hearted vengeance on the unreliable and untrustworthy menfolk of the town.

Tender Trap will play at this year’s New York Popfest alongside Veronica Falls and The Wake, as well as a special appearance in Philadelphia. Dansette Dansette is released on June 22, preceded on May 11 by a limited 7″ single of “Do You Want A Boyfriend?”
