DESCRIPTION:
"Step One" (released by Fortuna POP! 20 August 2012) is the first single from Tender Trap's new album "Ten Songs About Girls".

The video is a scrapbook from the Indietracks 2012 festival in Derbyshire. Most of it was filmed by the band on mobile phones, but clips were also kindly provided by Niall McNeill, Irene Del Pozo, Michael Prince, Michael Zakes and The Fire Girls.

In "Step One", Tender Trap draw on the dynamics of the original girl group songs, but aim to show what happens when those girls aren't in thrall to the male Svengali. 'Step One' is a great call and response, rallying call of a song, laying out advice in a series of steps about how to become a successful girl band.

With wise, if obstreporous, instructions, such as "Find like-minded girls", "Write a great chorus - never mind the verse", "Eschew a manager" and "Buy a pink guitar", Tender Trap show an indiepop girl band how to take the world by storm.

Tender Trap is: Amelia Fletcher (of Talulah Gosh and Heavenly), Emily Bennett, from Betty and the Werewolves (replacing Elizabeth Morris from Allo Darlin'), drummer and vocalist Katrina Dixon, John Stanley on guitar and original Heavenly bass player, Robert Pursey.
