1. Who are these loose gooses?
ROMP are an indie rock band with pop punk tendencies from
New Brunswick, New Jersey. Last Year is the first shot from there debut big
player Departure From Venus (March’16).
2.
What
have ROMP fired across our bows?
Last
Year
has production as crisp as the air on a autumn morning. Transcendental vocals
are allied with sharp cracking blows from the guitar and Last Year is gone like loose leaves in a gust of wind.
Stereogum have the good oil pushing Now Now and Chumped
to the head of the list. The Key were liking Allison Weiss and The Front
Bottoms for the job and Just Music I Like was thinking Wolf Alice and Bully fit the bill.
4. What
have music press got to say about Last Year?
“Built
on the vulnerability of singer/keyboardist Madison Klarer’s vocals and the
powerful drive of their punk-infused dance pop” – Punk A Normal Activity.
“Fits
and starts, ping-ponging from dreamy indie-pop laden melodies to quick bursts
of nimble percussion and guitar strums” – The Grey Estates.
“Kinda
punky kinda poppy, track where vocalist Madison Klarer injects stark lyricism
over driving, guitar-led musicianship” – Bad Timing Records.
ROMPS favorite bands are Manchester Orchestra, Pinegrove, Professor Caveman, Frankie Cosmos, Girlpool, Cayetana, Screaming Females, FIDLAR, Makthaverskan, Nirvana, No Doubt and Adventures.

Any more knowledge to carve into the ether?
Last Year is about the need to escape from a rut and find something new.
Last Year is about the need to escape from a rut and find something new.
“There
is something in my head telling me to make a change”
Bringing more bang for your buck are punk band The
Rabble. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand and springing kicking and screaming
into life in 2001 the now defunct band racked up four distinguished long
players in their glorious career, finding fame and fortune both at home and in
far flung lands. Friday Night (2007) was the bands greatest mainstream success at finds the proud men taking a musical leaf from the page of punk royalty Rancid's musical bible and with a dash of the Dropkick Murphys. Bloody brilliant bastards.
“We’re
hanging on the streets, we’re singing all the songs,
Starting
off the night with the Oi! Oi! Oi!”
