Tramhaus have released their new album Blister. Recorded in the depths of Belgium’s Ardennes Forest, Blister captures a band weathered and wizened by 18 months months of near constant touring, they played 124 shows across 22 countries in 3 continents for their first album, and their widening international network also sees them play practically every EU country by next spring, and release their new album in collaboration with 6 separate indie labels from across the Europe. Blister captures a sense of communal, embodied, patience through experiences of queues, denials of entry, soundchecks, lonely hotel rooms and international dealings – good and bad. A band who have an ability tosoak up what life brings and find a way collectively, and bodily, to deal with it, pushing Tramhaus forwards is their gang mentality, and core belief that a network of global friendships patiently built up over the last five years will see them right.
Channeling the grisled sounds of goth, grunge and post-hardcore, They are fitting match for Gurriers too, with whom they tour the whole of the UK this Autumn, also heading to these shores for Rockaway Beach in January.
Testament to the band’s broad international network of collaborators that prioritises the organic, grassroots side of the industry and a belief in bringing the band to audiences beyond the regular touring circuit, new album Blister is released in collaboration with six separate independent labels across six European countries: Subroutine Records (NL), Vicious Circle (FR), Siluh Records (AT), Bronson Recordings (IT), Lovers & Lollypops (PT) and Peleton Records (PL).
