“Led by a guy who calls himself Kolgate!, this band's overuse of exclamation marks should tip you off that they have enthusiasm to spare. That's apparent from opener "Revive," one of 10 tracks. Between dunderheaded raps and ostentatious guitar solos, it offers the kind of rote nü-metal that hasn't been popular in a decade. The same goes for "Party With Us!," a summertime jam that provocatively asks "Where's the sluts?/Where's the sluts?" "N-Double Zero- D-Z!" has a carnivalesque sound, but it's hampered by singing that's so off-key and out-of-tune (where is Auto-Tune when you need it?), it sounds like the guys were drunk when they recorded it. Other tunes aspire to evoke Linkin Park's call-and-response vocals, but come up woefully short.”

— J. N., Cleveland Scene Magazine

"Like something out of your darkest dreams but sugar coated in fun and blended with a huge bag of "just don't give a fuck"."

— Davey Harlund, Metalsucks.net

“Trap House Rave is the real deal. Real talent that needs to be heard!”

— JIm Rose, Jim Rose Circus

"Pairing great song writing along with an innovative sound and image this band is exactly what the stagnant scene needs right now. Trap House Rave! are definitely THE band to watch in 2012"

— C. Reilly, Alternative Press Magazine

“When I first heard Trap House Rave! I was literally blown away. The lyrics, the delivery, the production, the over all in your face 'fuck you' attitude... It's genuine punk rock - redefined. I love it.”

— Tim Armstrong, Rancid

“TRAP HOUSE RAVE. I like to think of them as what might happen if the fggts from Blood On The Dancefloor went to Cleveland public schools. Let me explain… When you think of Cleveland hardcore, the first thing that comes to mind are awesomely ignorant bands like One Life Crew, Integrity, Ringworm, and so forth. Cleveland hardcore is all about starting shit with people who take themselves too seriously, and paying the price when you run your mouth too much. On the other hand, when you think of crunkcore, you probably picture a couple effeminate little boys with flatironed hair screaming over an iPod and creeping on 14 year-olds after the show. Put the two together and you have Cleveland’s TRAP HOUSE RAVE! ”

““I’m sure you’ve seen the video for “I’m On a Boat” by The Lonely Island, either on SNL or on YouTube (if not, you can watch it here). It was a hilarious video that parodied a ton of rap and hip hop clichés, and featured guest vocals from R&B singer T-Pain. TRAP HOUSE RAVE! has a whole album of songs like “I’m On a Boat,” but they blend it with screamo. And it’s pretty much flawless. Plus, on a related note, apparently the band does a pretty solid cover of The aforementioned song, see youtube again. The band first launched their way into stardom by posting a single track "Under Your Skin" on MySpace in 2009. The kids responded, and Trap House Rave! found their niche. But what are they exactly? Rock? Rap? Punk? Hardcore? All Of The Above? The Answer is a new one.. Crunkcore!? ” ”

“ “I listened to Trap House Rave for the first time ever at 1:30 in the morning, and these guys had me on my feet dancing. Trap House Rave! blends just a little bit of Alternative with Hip-Hop and makes it into something very enjoyable regardless of the time of day. These guys are really fun and will cheer you up no matter what kind of day you are having. Trap House has provided us with 3 amazing songs, so you should definitely check them out if you are into “Crunkcore” hahahaha. Thanks THR for the amazing music and keep making the great music.” ”

“Love them or hate them, the fan-proclaimed "Bad Asses of Crunkcore" Trap House Rave! were indisputably among the most controversial entertainers of 2010. Celebrated by supporters for their ability to light up a stage and denounced by haters as an "untalented joke act", THR are the latest in a long line of shock poppers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex, drugs and technotronic crunk. Though occasionally dismissed by critics for being to brash and immature, their brand of Alternative Hip-Hop nevertheless struck a major chord with the youth market -- on the strength of a masterfully orchestrated marketing campaign, they became a fast growing band, much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents. THR was created in Cleveland, Ohio in 2009 and quickly rose to the top...”
