Evoking the sounds of their compiled backgrounds you will hear undertones of 60's 70’s and 80’s progressive, pop, new wave, and last but definitely not least rock.


Their self-titled debut album is due out in 2010. Their music has appeared in one feature length film (Bloodwine) and one short film (The Perfect Partner). The dance remix of “Pleased to Meet You” can also be heard in rotation in clubs throughout the US i.e. Panopticon in Dallas, TX and Club Orpheus in Baltimore, Md.


Yeah we're "That Band" Notoriously insane, definitely Different but we'll make you shake your rear-end a little, think a little and definitely feel a little. The Proof is in the music we put out into this place we call "The World" ...Our goal? Well its to come to every town we can to be your musical slaves..... And maybe just maybe you'll buy a t-shirt to help hurtle us in the direction of yet another town.

-"Andy Warhol would have adored the Transistor Tramps, whose synth-laden tunage alternates seamlessley between dancy and gloomy." -Caroline Collier, Fort Worth Weekly


-"When we’re not hearing the hard rock music of Dallas band, Transistor Tramps, whose voice of the lead singer sounds a lot like Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, we get a musical score that sounds like something director John Carpenter scored for his first independent box office hit thriller, Halloween (1978)."- Darth Stumpo review of 'Bloodwine ' soundtrack


-"Ok this next band I'm about to mention is totally awesome! "Like omg seriously awesome!!" I'm talking about Transistor Tramps. They are a great original sounding 80's band it's freakin unreal that these are originals....kinda scary even! I thought I was at a Missing Persons Concert or somethin'. Transistor Tramps is spunky, fun, energetic, and it takes you back in time. I'm a fan of 80's.. and This is a great club band.. Wear your spandex, studded red leather jacket, leg warmers/high heels, guys get your pink shirts on and have a miami vice night and go catch their next show! "you might just see me there!" haha..
