The Temper Trap is an Australian indie rock band, originally formed in Melbourne in 2005 and later based in London, known for their atmospheric and anthemic sound, which is built on sweeping guitar work, dynamic song structures, and the distinctive falsetto vocals of frontman Dougy Mandagi. The band’s current lineup includes Mandagi (vocals, guitar), Jonathon Aherne (bass), Toby Dundas (drums), and Joseph Greer (keyboards, guitar). They achieved massive international success with their 2009 debut album, Conditions, which featured the ubiquitous hit single “Sweet Disposition,” a song that defined their signature style of emotional build-up and grand, euphoric crescendos, establishing them as a prominent force in alternative rock capable of performing on global festival stages.
