Pollution, crime rates, and economic despair aren’t the only effects of growing up in the outskirts of the Motor City. Within the grey solitude there is beauty, hope and a budding bouquet of creativity and invigorating new music. A style their own, Bump brings together progressive tones, three part harmonies, and complicated layering to create an accessible and mature brand of art rock. Bump leads the charge of exhilarating new music out of Detroit proving there is more than just garage rock and hip hop. With an unrelenting touring schedule and over 700 shows played in 35 plus states, Bump continues to turn heads throughout the country spreading "the new Detroit sound."

Testimonials

“The first time that I heard Bump was when they were featured on the Howard Stern Radio show. They had covered one of my songs (“Restless, Restless”) and I remember Howard remarking that he couldn’t believe such a badly written song could sound so beautiful and it’s true. Bump are such accomplished musicians and arrangers that just about anything they perform sounds incredible. When you combine that talent and their great songwriting, you end up with one of the best albums of the year…and they’re great live too!”  Vinnie Favale, Vice President CBS Late Night

“From their very first show here, Bump has produced the results that make music fans and club owners happy. We’ve now established two traditional shows every year with them – one on Good Friday and one on Thanksgiving Eve. This year’s Thanksgiving Eve show topped them all – a great, capacity crowd in our big room, the Majestic Theatre, and a great set of music (augmented by their own stellar light show) by Bump. Besides working hard on stage and in the studio, the Bump team excels in promoting their shows actively, plastering this city with well-designed posters and selling a significant amount of tickets in advance. And their dynamic shows leave everyone excited about their next appearance.”  Greg Baise, Talent buyer for Majestic Theatre – Detroit, MI

“Bump is one of those bands that sneaks up on you and slowly gets your finger tapping and eventually transforms you from a calm and collective individual to  a maniac on the dance floor, oh maybe this just happens to me, but it seems like everyone else is enjoying this show immensely.  This band puts on a show no matter how many people are in the room and have been packing the dance floor since their very first play here.  If you want to have a guaranteed good time, Bump is the way to go.”  Jay Bianchi, Talent buyer/Owner – Dulcinea’s 100th Monkey, Quixotes, Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, and Oriental Theater – Denver, CO
