Listen To The Drag: Vol 1 Here!!!
Fancytramp is more nuanced than the obvious comparisons to other female-fronted rock bands. An ear-pleasing combination of beauty and grace with dark and aggressive elements. Their soaring, poetic vocals and absorbing melodies are projected against a wall of heavy, hypnotic bass and unrelenting drums.
Fancytramp was birthed somewhere between a record store and a salon chair in 2012ish by songwriter Olivia Scibelli (guitar, vocals), Betty Banyay (bass), and Matt Manning (drums, vocals). Keeping with the DIY/punk ethos, Fancytramp is entirely self-sustaining. Relying on and believing in the local scene in each city, Fancytramp has been consistently touring the states. Their live show is a radical experience, and at times it’s easy to forget the band is only a three piece. Many people have compared Fancytramp to bands like Black Sabbath,X and Sleater-Kinney– drawing from the heavy-pop like sound and energetic punkiness. Describing music, however, is entirely subjective and one thing about Fancytramp that is absolute is that it’s unique and not to be missed.
Following up on their self released RSD 2013 7″“Sweetlow” b/w “Bee Charmer” will be the first installment of Jeffery Drag Records digital singles series “The Drag” on May 13 (which you can buy on iTunes here)
