MORE INFORMATION
RUMSPRINGA
Led by Joey Stevens, what was once a tight twosome has now expanded into a free flowing quartet, with the addition of Cecilia Della Peruti (guitars/vocals), Ricardo Robles (bass) and Andrew Parker (drums).
Fresh off a string of California dates, including a stop at the San Francisco Art Institute and spots at Spaceland and The Echo, and their most recent Rumble Tour hosted by Future Sounds, Rumspringa are rightfully drawing comparisons to many artists but cannot be pinned down to one concrete type of sound. With Stevens' vocals and guitars there are elements of the psychedelic and delta blues, especially on new tracks like “Queer Eyed Boy" "Witch's Milk" and "Sway."
Garnering favorable press from anyone and everyone, including RCRD LBL to Flavorpill, and even MTV NEWS who declared Rumspringa as, “One of the best LA bands I have seen in a really long time. This LA based act are hazy and dirty (minus the shoe gaze) with classic electric riffs, creating genuine blues soaked music that demand audience participation; swaying and all." LA RECORD puts it, “Something about this band’s music is hypnotizing.” Judging from their last Rumble stop, we can easily infer that every night on the tour is likely to have fans in a trance. Just like the Amish rite of passage and the direct Pennsylvanian Dutch translation meaning to "run around" Rumspringa are directly exploring their sounds and influences by, “Running around with our minds, voices, hands, feet, guitars, basses, drums, ideas, sounds, you, me, everything.”
