LA-based pop/alternative band TRAPDOOR SOCIAL recently released their captivating official music video for their debut single “Fine on My Own,” which can be seen HERE. The video was recorded in December of 2014 with the help of the Mesa Ridge High School Marching Band, and features an epic and innovative display of orchestration and musical integration. The track was officially released on April 20th, 2015, and has been on high rotation in Colorado and played in other major markets. It reached “Hall of Fame” status on Las Vegas’ X107.5’s nightly contest “The Beatdown” by winning ten times in a row, and also just won MTVU’s “The Freshmen” voting contest, gaining regular rotation for the song nationally for six weeks.
Trapdoor Social’s founding members Merritt Graves and Skylar Funk met in an environmental program at Pomona College and bonded over a shared concern for the future of the planet. They started off a journey to make music and perhaps do some good along the way. The band got their music off the ground with the 2012 EP Death of a Friend, produced by Curt Schneider, and featuring Death Cab for Cutie’s Jason McGerr on drums. The EP made waves when “Like You Never” became the #1 listener-requested track on KROQ’s “Locals Only” show, and the single “Away” enjoyed radio play from a number of major market stations around the US.
Trapdoor Social is currently in the studio in Los Angeles with Curt Schneider and Youngblood Hawke’s Simon Katz working on their debut full length album, set for release in 2016. The band plans to tour the country in support the album with a mobile solar charge station in their trailer, which will enable them to put on full, outdoor show productions using entirely solar-powered equipment. In the month of August, they’ll be opening for Civil Twilight for two shows in Colorado, followed by a one-off performance in Las Vegas.
