Californian rock quartet Trapt formed in the '90s, influenced by grunge, heavy metal, and nu-metal. In 2002, they scored a hit with their single "Headstrong" from their sophomore release, Trapt. The group maintained their presence on the mainstream rock scene through the decade with Top 20 releases Someone in Control (2005) and Only Through the Pain (2008), while their 2010s albums spoke to their core fan base. The band entered the 2020s with their eighth set, Shadow Work.
