5/26/05 The Standard (U.K.) The Met Lounge (Peterborough) 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! .................................................................... 2/2005 Ear Candy Magazine 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. .................................................................... - The Standard (UK)

(WITH NEW PLAYERS) we just released our 3rd album "restraints" and just completed our 4th european tour Sept 3rd thru Sept 27th 2009 -REVIEWS BOOBIE TRAP-Look Inside (independent) What we have here is a 1970’s type punk band. Like the SEX PISTOLS or maybe VICE SQUAD. Their singer or shouter is Kelly Hill. Brenda Martinez and Danny Commerford play guitar. They play it fast. They play it well enough, that you can hear each chord. Jason McComs bashes the drums. Dave Daeberick comes through on bass. BOOBIE TRAP make an exciting sound together. There are several instrumental breaks, that the band charge through. “Look Inside” has fifteen songs on it. Two minutes is about average in length. They don’t repeat verses. Rather when BOOBIE TRAP finish saying what they want to, then they stop. The title track says, that the answers you are trying to find are inside you. What you find there is right for you. “Walk” is played faster, than I usually walk. The point of the words is to take your time. Don’t rush your life. There’s a drum intro on “Life Review”. The vocals are spoken. Then suddenly the speed picks up. It’s told to someone, who has hurt them. "I hope you like yourself, when you see your life review." BOOBIE TRAP do a good job of charging out of your speakers and shout what they think at you. Reports that punk is dead are premature. Website: http://www.boobietrapoc.com.

The band is a super tight old school punk band with the sexiest female singer on the planet! They played a fast and intense set............................................... 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 is 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 ob of getting the crowd warmed up and moshing early in the night, something you rarely see. The bands 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................................................................ Boobie Trap, "Look Inside"(Independent) - Fans of punk who miss the sonic fury of the genre before it was commercially streamlined by Green Day and the Offspring in the early 1990s will celebrate the frantic and untamed attack offered by La Habra-based Boobie Trap on "Look Inside." While the band occasionally captures the post-punk of a band such as Concrete Blond (particularly on "Darkness Falling"), singer Kelly Hall, guitarist Danny Commerford, bassist Dave Daeberick, drummer Jason McCombs and guitarist Brenda Martinez frequently plunge themselves into the fiery pool blazed by artists such as X, Youth Gone Mad and the Muffs, but with a modern edge that has the quintet blazing a trail of its own.
