The Von Tramps teamed up with Los Angeles locals Rundown Kreeps to bring their ska punk cover of the original Post Malone/Swae Lee song Sunflower to life. The song was recorded in Fort Collins, Colorado in April 2021 by our long time producer Dustin Phillips (The Ataris) and features vocals from Richard Lamas (Rundown Kreeps). The video was shot at Bomb Shelter practice space in Anaheim, CA and features a collection of videos from our tour life in the past few years.
The Von Tramps about the cover: “We chose to cover ‘Sunflower’, because we saw the story of the song relating to relationships while being in a touring band. There’s are many moments in the lyrics that call out life on the road leading to some difficult decisions and hardships in relationships. Hard to describe, but when you choose to take a risk and go for your dreams, some things, seemingly relatively normal things, become more difficult and nearly impossible in some cases. The song is dedicated to those long distance relationships, the hard work it takes to make it work, and all our fellow road warriors who are fearlessly going for their dreams.”
The Von Tramps are an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2015. The group is fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jenna Enemy and features Chelsea Oxborough on guitar and Krissandra Anfinson on bass.
The band emerged from the Minneapolis underground punk scene and first gained notoriety for their high-energy live shows and irreverent behavior. The Von Tramps have an eclectic style offering a new take on the Minneapolis underground sound which combines sludgy Ramonesque punk tunes with cheeky lyrics and introduces a new wave of rude girl ska.
The band’s second full-length studio album GO will be released on SBÄM Records in spring 2022.
