Record Review: Stamps

by | Mar 1, 2011 | Indie Rock, Reviews

Stamps
Tramps
Los Angeles, CA

“Put on your dress shoes and make your hips move”

Stamps consists of singer/guitarist Bob Morris, drummer Adam James, guitarist Ian Crawford and vocalist Ren Patrick.  The band creates a musical appetite that forces Los Angeles out of its current punk rock comfort zone.

With an eclectic mix of 1960s influence infused with melodic driven lyrics, Stamps proudly makes their arrival in the SoCal scene on Tramps.  As most upcoming bands try to generate their best work, they exhaust the possibility for fans to taste entertaining and lively music with a hint of a fun attitude.  This cannot be said for Stamps.  Overall, Tramps not only introduces fans to the band’s intentions, but also to their personality – Patrick’s range clearly elaborates on her ability to demonstrate emotion with every note, while James’ drumming resonates the ’60s simplicity with tremendous charisma.  (Rick’s Record Shack)
