Several months ago I went through a few week stretch of listening everything Amplifier had released (and available to me). They mix a lot of different genres (I can hear Krautrock (a bit like Neu!) and Pink Floyd influences in their music) and combine them perfectly Metal Hammer said they were ".the future of rock." and even Q magazine said that ".at present British rock doesn't get much better than this."ĪMPLIFIER: This is highly original space rock. Kerrang! Magazine said this was ".the British rock-scene altering record" when talking about their selftitled debutalbum. This band has been hailed a lot in the media. They combine deep personal lyrics with walls of noise, combined with stunning melodies. As you can see there's no keyboardist on board, so all the weird sounds and effects are played on the guitar, hence the name "AMPLIFIER".įor their 2004's selftitled debut album the band worked together with Steve Lyon to produce the album (he also worked with bands like THE CURE and DEPECHE MODE) and Chris Seldon for mixing it (also known for producing OCEANSIZE's "Effloresce" album and mixing music by THE FOO FIGHTERS).
Last, but not least, there's Neil Mahony who is the bassist. Than there's Matt Brobin, who is the band's drummer.
The band consists of Sel Balamir who plays guitar and is also the band's lead-vocalist.
This three-piece makes extraordinary music which is quite similar to the, also Manchester based, band OCEANSIZE. AMPLIFIER is a Manchester based space rock band.
