Tramp Stamps (band)

Tramp Stamps was an American pop-punk band from Nashville, Tennessee. They became known on TikTok and later for controversial lyrics, not understanding punk culture and having worked in the commercial music industry.

The band's members were Marisa Maino (singer), Caroline Baker (guitar), and Paige Blue (drums). Their music often combined pop music and skate punk. Vice News described their music as "feminist punk" and Rolling Stone "queer punk". Their record label, Make Tampons Free, was created by them.

 History 
Blue had created songs that were used for shows on MTV, DirecTV, Starz and advertisements for Apple and Sephora. Maino and Baker had been signed to Prescription Songs (owned by Dr. Luke). Maino was a singer and songwriter, and Baker had recorded music as "Carobae".

Maino said the band was her, Baker, and Blue "just fucking around" and she had written songs with Blue and liked Baker's songwriting, as they had all worked for AWAL. They then recorded a song that later became "I'd Rather Die" after drinking alcohol one night, and Maino convinced Blue and Baker to form an independent band. Tramp Stamps started by sharing covers on TikTok, then were better known after releasing their debut single "Sex with Me". They became controversial after releasing "I'd Rather Die".

Tramp Stamps were said to be "industry plants" because Maino, Blue, and Baker had been songwriters and used queer and punk themes badly. Maino denied this, saying, "There [are] some times where I wish that was true, so then I could be like, "this is somebody else's fault", instead of some bullshit that I did".
