The group signed to Michael Gudinski 's label , Liberation Music , and released its debut extended play ( EP ) , '' The Temper Trap '' , in November 2006 through the label ; the EP was produced by Scott Horscroft ( The Sleepy Jackson , Silverchair ) . According to a live review by " planetclare " of Australian music website FasterLouder , Dundas sometimes abandons the drums and plays guitar , while Mandagi 's voice " hits a note and then transcends it , slicing the sound barrier and leaving you with your mouth open and your eyes wide " . The review also described Aherne regularly moving around the stage and Sillitto providing guitar solos that " subtlety drove the melody from the side of stage " . After finishing an Australian tour , the band then performed at the V Festival in Melbourne , Sydney ( March 2007 ) and the Gold Coast ( April )
