SOME REVIEWS:
1/22/05 – The El Rey, Los Angeles
Scratch Magazine by Yuri Beatnick
The Adolescents – Youth Brigade – The Briggs & Boobie Trap: I got through the doors a little late due to some trouble with the guest list, but made it in to catch the last couple of songs from Boobie Trap. Playing high-speed old school punk with an unmistakable Orange County sound, Boobie Trap does a good job of getting the crowd warmed up and moshing early in the night, something you rarely see. The band's success could be that lead singer (Kelly Hall), pours beer all over her chest (to the delight of the adolescent crowd). Either way, Boobie Trap was a perfect opening band. You should check them out.

Gig Review by Juliette Burton:
Standing proudly in the limelight as headliners were American band Boobie Trap from Orange County Ca. They charged through their crazed mass of shaken up old school punk. With lungs as huge as her delicious accent is strong, their female front person literally grabbed the audience with her sexy, unadulterated heat (poor guy, bet his scalp hurt in the morning). The scorching temperature sizzled onto the streets outside after this punk-fest. As a warm up gig, this was hot!

CD Review “Look Inside” by Boobie Trap
“Look Inside” Old school punk rock, with a dash of sultriness is what Orange County’s Boobie Trap delivers on its 15-track release. “Look Inside” is reminiscent of Blondie in many ways, from the infectious choruses to the obvious female fronted point of view, but there is a definite So Cal punk vibe permeating through tracks like “Darkness Falling” and “Amino Lawal” that instantly places Boobie Trap out of the eye candy only category. Rocking hard on tracks like “Hey You” (complete with chaotic punk guitar solo) and the anthem of affirmation “I’ve Come Into My Own”, this band proves that you can be gritty and look damn good doing it.
For a female fronted band with a bite, a la The Distillers, look no further than Boobie Trap.
5/05 CD Review Boobie Trap’s “Look Inside” 15 trks
Blackout Music
It’s always been a bit easy (and lazy) to draw parallels between bands who play fast and furious female fronted frantic Punk Rock with the likes of Vice Squad and MDM, so a lot of people make the comparison, me included, we just can’t help ourselves. Thankfully the comparisons in this case run truer than most, although Boobie Trap do have a tendency towards the harder Street Rock’nRoll, almost oiish sound of MDM rather than Vice Squad, especially on tracks such as “Walk”, “Sorry”, “Look Inside”, “Religion”, amongst many others. There’s even certain elements of that Stefani Woman who used to sing with some band called No Doubt. Whatever happened to her?
