The Tramps - Fireland (2016)

The band was formed as a four piece band in March 1994, through a common desire to play Irish inspired music. Since then they expanded, in 1998 they were eight, today it's a six-piece-band.. The musicians come from a variety of backgrounds, including rock, heavy rock, new wave, country/roots, pop and folk music . The Tramps market themselves under the title "Irish folk music"; however their style has been inspired by Scottish as well as Irish traditional music. Over the last few years they have also let country & western music, played in their own special way, into their repertoire. Don't be surprised if you hear the old Johnny Cash classic "Folsom Prison Blues" played at a gig with The Tramps.They also combine the elements of rock and roll with the harmonies and rhythm of Celtic music. Apart from the obvious sources of inspiration such as The Dubliners, The Waterboys and The Pogues they have also chosen songs from lesser known artists in order to complete their repertoire. Today they write most of their material on their own. Their upcoming album "Roadkill", is a very representing document of where The Tramps are today.
