Tramhaus

“fun, riotous and extremely, extremely cool.” Crack Magazine

“a vortex of catchy noise." The Quietus

[On ‘Once Again’] “an explorative, quizzical prowler of a song” Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 6Music

“If you have witnessed Tramhaus wreck a stage or two with their proto punk hijinks, you know it’s only a matter of time before they inflict some serious mayhem.” Beats Per Minute

"Tramhaus are content to allow their discontent to tailspin into madness: a maelstrom where words, electricity, pulse and feedback gyrate like a hurricane striking a scrapyard." Under The Radar

“A dark slice of bass driven post punk you can dance to” Louder Than War

“Untameable” So Young Magazine

Out today (30th August), Rotterdam Post-Punks Tramhaus share storming new single ‘Ffleur Hari’, the final teaser from debut album ‘The First Exit’ - due 20th September via Subroutine Records.

The release also comes amidst a packed summer schedule of European festivals, and ahead of a mammoth 28-date/10 country headline tour later this year, commencing on 2nd October at iconic Amsterdam venue Paradiso.

Rapidly building a reputation for their incendiary live shows, in just three short years, Tramhaus have already chalked up multiple EU wide tours, eight shows at SXSW, and a seven-date tour of Japan. With multiple trips to the UK under their belt -  and a trio of shows this November (full details below) -  the band have already been championed by Steve Lamacq and Deb Grant (BBC Radio 6 Music), and Seattle’s KEXP Radio - who premiered May single ‘Once Again’ - also winning support from major press touchstones The Quietus, CRACK, The Line of Best Fit, So Young Magazine, Rough Trade Counter Culture, Under The Radar, and Beats Per Minute.

New single ‘Ffleur Hari’ packs in all the noise, exhilaration and suspense that the band have quickly made their own. A juggernaut of tension and dread and charges out the blocks with a growling drum march and chugging guitars, the track soon explodes into a rip-roaring chorus (“Waste!” “Distraction!” “Violence!” “Drugs!”) that crashes and thunders in a fury of joyous, uplifting punk-rock abstraction, carrying echoes of Fat White Family, or fellow Dutch trailblazers Personal Trainer in its wake.

  Offering some thoughts on the single, the band say: “'Ffleur Hari' is a non-existent word that popped up when Lukas tried to write the structure down for the song in a hurry. We liked it, and stuck to it. It may or may not refer to a relative of famous boxing champion Badr Hari.”

To mark the single’s release, Tramhaus capture the frenzy of their live sets with a special live video, filmed during their landmark set at Best Kept Secret Festival, their biggest audience to date - Watch here
