  LOS ANGELES, CA, Jun 11 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 In support of their new single "Who's Going Home With You Tonight," which
impacted radio this week, multi-Platinum rockers Trapt ("Headstrong,"
"Stillframe,"
"Stand Up") premiered a new music video for the song as a free download on
Xbox LIVE for the month of June. "Exposing our new music while debuting our
new video on Xbox LIVE is the perfect balance of music meets entertainment.
It fits our lifestyle as a band," says Chris Taylor Brown (lead
vocals/guitar).  The video can be accessed for the rest of the month by

    "Who's Going Home With You Tonight" (from the upcoming "Only Through The
Pain" due everywhere on August 5, 2008), was directed by Paul Brown
(MoetleyCruee, Marilyn Manson) and features lead vocalist Chris Taylor Brown
tellingthe tale of a cheating girlfriend from his own perspective by exposing
his
cheating ex with three different men. It's a raw and unique male perspective
on romance, relationships, and the nuances in between, keeping Trapt's rock edge
while displaying the captivating songwriting sensibilities which have led to
over 2
million albums sold since the band's inception.

    As an exciting twist, three "trailers" for "Who's Going Home With You
Tonight" have been created, offering a back-story to the actual music video.
These clips have caused a literal viral sensation amongst fans of the band.
Each trailer showcases a different, torrid affair that has been a web of
deceit spun by the video's starring character, which the band cast especially
for the role. Fans have been left wondering just how personal this video is, and
responded accordingly via TRAPT's new social networking site:
www.onlythroughthepain.com.

    With the Xbox LIVE debut now part of history, Trapt are currently
preparingfor the launch of the Cruee Fest tour, on which they will share the
bill with
Moetley Cruee, Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Sixx:A.M.   The 40-plus-city tour
kicks off
on July 1, 2008. Nikki Sixx, President of Trapt's label, Eleven Seven Music,
handpicked them to join the tour.

    All of this activity has the 4-piece band poised and ready for the release
their
third studio album since their highly successful 2002 self-titled debut, which
included Billboard's #1 US Modern Rock & #1 US Mainstream Rock single,
"Headstrong." That album made such an impact on the current modern rock
atmosphere that the songs continue to permeate North American airwaves today. 
As
such, TRAPT returned to the studio to create an album that appreciates the
guiding principles of modern rock, but also tests the boundaries of what that
actually means in 2008.

    With "Only Through The Pain," Trapt have clearly succeeded.
