TRAITRS formed in late 2015, when Shawn Tucker (vocalist/guitarist) met writer/keyboardist Sean-Patrick Nolan in Toronto, Ontario through mutual friends and a shared fondness for punk, electronic music, art house and horror films. They crafted their angular post-punk sound after spending endless months writing together in their flats before taking their bedroom recordings to acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist, Josh Korody at Candle Recording. Together with Korody, the duo carved out their nightmarish mosaic of icy guitars, melancholic synths, motorik drum machine rhythms, anthemic melodies woven together with horror-laced lyricism, capturing the spirit of older bands like The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and Cocteau Twins, while keeping their sound modern and forward looking. https://traitrs.bandzoogle.com/
