Initially nfluenced by Therapy, Nirvana and Greenday they promptly rose the local ranks of the Milton Keynes scene to regularly sell out the Pitz becoming one of the cities most popular bands through their energetic live show and strong melodic songs about alienation and problems of being a teenaged misfit in MK.
In 2003 they got associated with the Ska scene (despite never having played ska), signing to Moonska Europe and have since been at the the forefront of the UK punk rock scene, with one album distributed internationally through Moonska and many more releases through other underground UK punk labels. Debut album 'Concrete & Udder Chaos' produced by Iain Wetherell (Goober Patrol, Capdown, Vanilla Pod) brought together a collection of their teenaged anthems, spawning the pop-punk video stomper S.R.J. which topped the Scuzz charts in 2003 beating off Metallica and Less Than Jake for three weeks!. Other tracks off the album have been included on various compilations, most notibly Metal Hammers cover CD 'Sounds of the Underground' in Dec '03 and Compunktion 1 & 2 released on Sucka-Punch.
2003 - 2004 saw them on a heavy touring schedule with numerous Moonska package tour appearances out on the road with the likes of Spunge, Never Heard Of It, Whitmore and Mixtwitch and large shows with Bowling for Soup, Lars Fredricksen, Capdown and Therapy at the National Adventure Sports Show. 2005 saw them concentrate on new material yet still consistently building up a loyal fan base across the UK through their shows. Their early blink-esqu pop-punk sound matured to a show a band capable of much more than the standard formula, getting back in touch with their rocky roots, the riffs and the breakdowns in the vein of Rise Against and Alkaline Trio but still displaying the big chorus's and keen ear for a catchy song evident through out all of Graveltraps music. Ever determined to prove the UK punk rock scene can once again be every bit as vital as the US scene, Graveltrap follow in the foot steps of the bands that have re-carved the scene - King Prawn (rip) Capdown & [spunge] and with a new ep on their own label New City Noise causing a stir in the underground and street teams spreading the word, GRAVELTRAP's live show has been described as 'blistering, energetic, passionate and powerful' and they will be smashing their way around the country near you soon....

When it was released, Scuzz refused to play it because it was 'too depressing' whilst at the same time they were playing Good Charlotte's 'Hold On!' It was such a waste!
Graeme Lee Pollard
With respect, Good Charlotte's 'Hold On' video was talking about the effects & advice on feeling suicidal by saying how we can fight it meaning do not be afraid to speak up or get help. Messages like that needed to be spread across, and still does today.
In this video there is no plot so maybe that's why Scuzz found it 'depressing.'

They bent their own standards in order to get higher ratings, the hypocricy was blatant.
