Tender Trap is an indie rock/twee pop band, based in London (UK), formed in 2001 by three of the five members of Marine Research - Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey, and DJ Downfall (real name: John Stanley).
Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey were previously in the twee pop band Heavenly, and some have seen Tender Trap as representing a return to the pop aesthetic of that earlier band, albeit with a more electronic slant. On their first album Film Molecules, the songs demonstrate an eclectic mix of musical styles, with a clear nod to the similarly eclectic approach taken by The Magnetic Fields on their "69 Love Songs" album.
The band's initial intention was to be a recording outfit only, due to their hatred of transporting drums from place to place. They compromised by playing live but using a CD player for backing beats. Recently, though, they have teamed up with Claudia Gonson (of The Magnetic Fields) on drums, and will be playing live with this line-up. After her successful work as a guest vocalist on the Language Lessons EP, Lupe Nunes-Fernandez of Pipas has joined the band, providing backing vocals on their second album 6 Billion People.
