The Tramp Stamps controversy has really ramped up with the April 14 release of their latest single, “I’d Rather Die”. LYRICS THAT ARE SEEN TO PROMOTE SEXUAL ASSAULT WE own ‘Make Tampons Free’ and no one else.” “We made our OWN label called ‘Make Tampons Free’,” they say, “which is distributed through AWAL (which literally stands for Artists Without A Label). In their recent response, however, they claim that they chose not to sign with a major label. Naturally, the theory that they’re industry plants - in other words, artists that appear to be independent and “homegrown”, but are actually backed by an established label - has spread like wildfire on TikTok. Luke that has also worked in connection with the likes of Doja Cat and Dua Lipa. According to Rolling Stone, Baker and Maino also have deals with Prescription Songs, a publisher owned by Dr. On TikTok, part time detectives have also uncovered evidence, pointing out that Blue has been producing music for major and indie labels for years, as detailed on her website.

In an explainer on how the band met, posted to TikTok late last year, Tramp Stamps sum it up pretty concisely: “Three girls got drunk at a bar and wrote a song.” More recently, they added on Instagram: “We all crossed paths and wrote together as a band for the first time in February 2020, and our unfiltered conversations together led to the songs you are all so pressed about right now.”
THE CLAIMS THAT THEY’RE ‘INDUSTRY PLANTS’ Below, we’ve unpacked the reasons that people, and TikTokers in particular, are so mad about Tramp Stamps. In the comment section, fans have applauded their defiant response, while critics maintain claims of hypocrisy and disingenuous marketing strategies. Unsurprisingly, the message itself has been polarising. You don’t like our music? Don’t fucking listen to it. “You have gone to the ends of the fucking earth to shit on us, have told us to kill ourselves, and have used conspiracy theories on TikTok as a trend to get more views on your own videos. “We are three women who have been writing and producing music for many years, busting our asses in the music business while building our personal careers.” “The misinformation and lies that feed this cancel culture are so fucking toxic,” the statement reads. As a result, Tramp Stamps have been fast-tracked to a modern music career milestone, their first notes-app response, after releasing just three songs (including the latest single “I’d Rather Die”).
