RUMSPRINGA (A word from the critic)
Garnering favorable press from anyone and everyone, including RCRD LBL to Flavorpill, and even MTV NEWS who declared Rumspringa as, “One of the best LA bands I have seen in a really long time. This LA based act are hazy and dirty (minus the shoe gaze) with classic electric riffs, creating genuine blues soaked music that demand audience participation; swaying and all.”  LA RECORD puts it, “Something about this band’s music is hypnotizing.” Judging from their last Rumble stop, we can easily infer that every night on the tour is likely to have fans in a trance. Just like the Amish rite of passage and the direct Pennsylvanian Dutch translation meaning to “run around” Rumspringa are directly exploring their sounds and influences by, “Running around with our minds, voices, hands, feet, guitars, basses, drums, ideas, sounds, you, me, everything.”
(A word from the band)
Every band has its chapters. Whether they like it or not, the whole thing is somewhat of an open story book. Ironic, since so many musicians are the most closed up, introverted type people….unexpectedly unleashing all their channeled energy on a stage. Pretty fucking funny actually. Rumspringa’s marched on to a second chapter, always exploring, always trying to challenge its own integrity, its sense of what they want, and more importantly, how to have more fun today than they did yesterday. Music, is, and will be, forever. Thank the gods.
