[edit] History
Tramp Attack formed in Liverpool at the turn of the century, and the original lineup included future leader of The Zutons Dave McCabe. A single was released by Honey Records in 2001, but the band would soon split. A reformed lineup was briefly known as The Mother Lovers, and one song, Rex, was released under that name on an acoustic compilation album. Tramp Attack then returned, lead by Matt Barton, and played several sell-out gigs at The Bandwagon night held at The Zanzibar Club in Liverpool. Liverpool at the time was attracting much interest from record labels large and small, and Tramp Attack proceeded to release records through the London-based Must Destroy record label. In the summer of 2006 the long player 'Call In Sick' was released on The Viper Label. The band continue to perform throughout the city of Liverpool and further afield, such as at the Coniston Festival. Drummer Ian Lane persists in removing as many items of clothing as possible at any given opportunity to dazzle any ladies within eye shot of his pinky torso and fleshy legs.
