The first two posts you see on Tramp Stamps’ Instagram tell quite the story. One, uploaded April 14, is the video for the Tennessee band’s new single I’d Rather Die, a colourful, defiantly-spirited pop-punk affair in which they (twentysomethings Marisa Maino, Caroline Baker, and Paige Blue) declare that, “I’d rather die than hook up with another straight white guy”.

As their convoy moved across northern Europe, microphones, guitars and amps sat alongside bags stuffed with Dey’s clothes. He didn’t have a visa and, as a European citizen, he didn’t need one.
It’s the 12th month of the year, but it feels like the 30th. Elves are being moved around shelves, Best Of lists are peppering timelines, and snow is showing up on lawns as we close out a historic year. It’s not just you figuring out how to have a socially-distanced Thanksgiving or exchange gifts over Zoom; like everyone else around the globe dealing with a bizarre year, the bandmates in the UK punk rock outfit Drones have had to master rapid adaptability. They put the finishing touches on their sophomore LP in between bouts of serious British lockdown orders, and the London-based quintet has decided to plow forward with the release.
