Wheels of Fortune
Release Date: 4th Sept 06How many bands do you know who…
* sneaked into a Premiership football stadium to record their album without anyone knowing?
*have a member who is connected to both the Royal Family and the Von Trap family?
" persuaded one of the world's top 3 producers to produce them? (He has his dog back now...)
*played one of their first gigs at Hugh Grant's 40th birthday party?Welcome to the wonderful world of Van Tramp, five guys with the ambition of reigniting and justifying your faith in the raw, life-affirming, emotional power of rock and roll. A band who, in 2006, bring proof to several long standing dilemmas the best British rock bands have left behind:
Can a band sound genuinely, naturally transatlantic? Really have their musical roots in the landscapes of America and Britain?
Can a band deliver the visceral, heart-tugging roll of the late 60s and early 70s, and the emotional, head-thrilling rock of contemporary stadium legends? And still sound essentially modern?
Can - in such cynical pop days as these - a band still change someone's life through the simple power of a song?
The answer is YES!
