This Melbournian experimental/indie act has come along way since the humble beginnings of the bands lead vocalist/banjo extraodinaire Aleks Bryant. Upon recording a debut EP in 2005 Aleks (sic)unearthed a band for the sole purpose of having a launch for the EP. Janita Foley, Simon Connelly, Joe Foley and Jon Tjhia then became the Ramps!
The new single 'Antique Limbs' is a quirky number which resembles a sort of mix between Arcade Fire and Born Ruffians (Go Canada). This song will feature on the up and coming release of the album 'Midnight Believer' which will be released on the 30th May...
Dom Alessio of Home and Hosed states Aleks and the Ramps are, 'Calypso pop combined with shimmering psychedlia, as if Broken Social Scene, Vampire Weekend and MGMT staged a massive jam in the wilderness'.
Definitely an interesting act to watch out for in the future!
