You may remember Sam and The Womp from 2012, when they shot to the UK number one spot, and achieved 4x platinum status in Australia, with their dance track “Bom Bom”!

The UK band, which mainly consists of vocalist Bloom de Wilde and trumpeter Sam Ritchie, have spent the last two years bringing their party driven sound to the live circuit, and producing a baby daughter. But now they’re ready to tackle the charts again with their new track “Zeppelin”.

Bloom states,

‘For me, as a musician you have the chance to set something free into the world to let it take its own journey. “Zeppelin” is like a new child ready to start its own life’.

“Zeppelin” is a very different sound to “Bom Bom”. Described as a “ska-dance fusion” the track has potential to be another huge hit. We found ourselves dancing in our chairs after the first listen.

Due to be released on February 2nd, the accompanying video is both vibrant and colourful, a perfect match for this vibrant, colourful track!

The mix of Sam’s jazzed-up trumpets and Bloom’s Bjork-like vocals, give the band a truly distinctive and enjoyable sound.

We look forward to Sam and the Womp’s album release later this year.
