    Industry 45 Quick Spin feat. Mike Tramp - Former White Lion Frontman | Full

    May the 1st will see the release of "Second Time Around", the new album from MIKE TRAMP. And while the ex-White Lion and Freak of Nature frontman is no rookie to releases in his own name, this time he does so with a special feeling. "I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked. That if I could do it all over again, what would I change? It’s a tricky question and for an artist, sometimes an unfair one", he says. "Because when we looked back, hindsight is always 20/20 and we know it all, and familiar with the Monday morning quarterback scenario, where everyone knows where he should have thrown the ball or kicked it.

    What the hell did I know when I walked into the recording studio the first time in 1976 to record my first album? The answer is nothing, and I can honestly admit, it didn’t really change 10 years or 20 years later on. With every album I recorded or every tour I finished I always came home with so much more knowledge than when I started it, and always wished I’d known it all at the beginning". "I am proud of these songs. They are like my other albums and 100% representation of who Mike Tramp is. If aliens came down to earth and happened to pick up “Second Time Around” as the first Mike Tramp album they heard, I would be truly proud and confident that all of my DNA, would be in this album".

    "Second Time Around" will be released May 1st 2020 worldwide through Target Records containing ten songs (including the first single "The Road", which the official video can be seen below).

    Min tone i livet: Mike Tramp - Bruce Springsteen, The River

    Min tone i livet: Mike Tramp - Bruce Springsteen, The River
    Året er 1980, og i en lejlighed på 37. etage med udsigt over Copacabana står en 19-årig Mike Tramp, der er på selverklæret pilgrimsrejse til Rio de Janeiro. En ung mand med teenageidol-status og masser af gåpåmod, opvokset på et Vesterbro med koldt vand i hanerne, guitarklimpende hippier og ikke mindst Vesterbro Ungdomsgård. Men også en rodløs ung mand, der leder efter et ståsted både musikalsk og menneskeligt. I penthouselejligheden på Ipanema Beach, som tilhører en ven fra musikbranchen, fisker Mike en plade frem fra reolen. Det er Bruce Springsteens nyudgivne The River, og titelnummerets basale akkordrundgange sender Mike direkte tilbage til det Vesterbro, han ellers har vendt ryggen. Det er første skridt til en indsigt, der har fulgt ham som sangskriver lige siden: "Din styrke er der, du kommer fra. Mine sange skal repræsentere mit liv, der jeg kommer fra, og den jeg er."
