Three Trapped Tigers are a London-based band who have carved out a unique niche within progressive and experimental music circles, with a sound that defies easy categorization. Comprised of Adam Betts on drums and electronics, Tom Rogerson on keyboards and electronics, and Matt Calvert on guitar and electronics, they harness a blend of genres that include noise rock, electronic music, and math rock, creating a dense, dynamic soundscape that is as cerebral as it is visceral. Their band name, inspired by the novel "Tres Tristes Tigres" by the Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante, signifies the complexity and layered nature of their compositions.

Since their inception in 2007, Three Trapped Tigers have continuously challenged the boundaries of instrumental music. Their body of work ranges from early EPs—aptly titled "EP1," "EP2," and "EP3"—that served as their initial statement of intent, to the more refined chaos in their full-length albums like "Route One or Die" and the critically acclaimed "Silent Earthling." Their energetic execution and meticulous craftsmanship on stage are brilliantly captured in live recordings such as "Three Trapped Tigers on Audiotree Live." Across their catalogue, from "Numbers: 1-13" through to "Engrams," the band showcases an impressive spectrum of sonic exploration, proving time and again that they are masters at synthesizing a multitude of influences into a coherent, pulse-pounding sound.
