About The Mystery Tramps
“a highly polished blend of power pop and punk” — Boston Herald
“The Tramps.play punk-inspired pop tunes that are reminiscent of Green Day” — Boston Globe
“The Mystery Tramps create not just quality music, but authentic and meaningful statements of youth.”
— Northeast Performer
They have been together for almost four and a half years. That's well into adulthood in rock band terms, even though lead guitarist Adam Amoroso was only twelve when he and his mates Eric Grava, Andrew Leader, and Martin DiLiegro teamed up to form The Mystery Tramps on Halloween night, 2004, in their hometown of Lynnfield, Massachusetts. They chose its name from the lyrics of a Bob Dylan classic (Like a Rolling Stone).
Before long, The Tramps began to infiltrate the Boston music scene, regularly headlining the key venues in town, as well as playing clubs in NYC. In 2007, they were selected as the winner of the 13th Annual WBCN/Berklee College of Music Battle of the High School Bands, and, in unprecedented fashion, all four members were awarded scholarships to the Berklee College Summer Program.
The Mystery Tramps recently released their third CD, We Are The Mystery Tramps. The self-produced EP includes six original songs, and, while clearly demonstrating the maturity in the band's songwriting and performance skills, it serves as a fitting follow-up to 2007's full-length release, Cure For The Common Misconception. Boston radio stations, including WBCN, WFNX, and WXKS, have embraced the music of The Mystery Tramps.
The band considers opening for The Aquabats and MC Lars at the fabled Avalon Ballroom in Boston; working with Greg Hawkes of The Cars, who produced their debut EP, Nowhere's End; and their time spent with producer/mixer Stephen George (Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Ric Ocasek, Britney Spears) on Cure For The Common Misconception among the highlights of their young careers.
