The Temper Trap are a band that were formed out of 2005. Working their way out of the Melbourne indie circuit they were discovered and rose to acclaim at the inaugural St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival in March 2006. The Temper Trap released their debut EP that same year, and word of the group’s potential soon spread to other continents. Veteran British producer Jim Abbis (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Kasabian) saw enough promise in The Temper Trap’s material to fly to Australia, where he gathered the musicians into Melbourne’s SingSing Studio and helped readied their debut album, Conditions for release in 2009.

‘Sweet Disposition’ a U2-inspired anthem was released that September as an indisputable hit, cracking the Top 40 in multiple countries and featuring in teen hit film 500 Days Of Summer. With 5x Platinum sales in Australia, 3x Platinum sales in the UK (1 million+ sales), and Platinum sales in the United States (1 million+ sales), the single has, to date, clocked up more than 500 million streams on Spotify alone.
