The foursome is Jonny Essiech (guitars), Jimmy Watson (vocals, guitars), Matt Wenke (drums), and Tristan Chopping (bass) and are producing sounds that are a mix of pop punk and metal. When I first heard “Fight For My Life”, I was taken back to the early days of … Continue reading LISTEN: “Fight For My Life” by ColourMind
Yeehaw! Gimmie synth! All the synth! And also gimmie ballsy and badass female fronted bands with an attitude! That is what Bitter Kisses are giving me and I am 100% in.

The band says … Continue reading DEBUT SINGLE: “Pr*y” by Bitter Kisses
I must say, Chris Harms must have been a super model in a previous life. He has this wonderful ability to hold beautiful poses. Like this one from “Blood and Glitter”. Or this one from Lord of the Lost’s latest video, “Leaving the Planet Earth”. I also have to add, I’m kinda annoyed at how beautiful and handsome Chris can simultaneously be. Pick one. You … Continue reading WATCH: “Leaving the Planet Earth” by Lord of the Lost

Kicking off the EP, is the country blues feel tune, “Deep Country”.

Infused with social commentary on the desolate and dark fates of asylum seekers in the UK, Junior Bill has channeled a bit of punk rock icons, The Clash, to create a sound that is pure punk with their latest track, “Boys From Jungle”. The punk icons would be proud of Junior Bill. While the band has been around since 2013, they have only released EPs, … Continue reading Junior Bill: Boys From Jungle
I’ve seen the name Kamelot a lot, but never once sat down and listened to their music. So when I say, I am new to the Kamelot fandom, I mean I am brand new. “One More Flag in the Ground” is the first song I’ve ever listened to by the band and I’d like to aplogise for being late to the Kamelot party. Because good … Continue reading KAMELOT: One More Flag in the Ground
Oooooooohhhhhh, lawd chile. (That’s Southern for ‘oh lord child’.) As someone who grew up in the South (both Carolinas) and has been called ‘sugar pie’ once or twice, the brand new single from Brooklyn’s Dakota Jones, “Sugar Pie”, takes me back home. “Sugar Pie” is a delicious return to soul with a helluva lot of funk added in for sexy saucy flavour! Dakota Jones is … Continue reading Dakota Jones: Sugar Pie
Two part review for Story of the Year. First, let’s talk about “War” as a song. It is the latest track from the forthcoming album, Tear Me to Pieces, and good god almighty, what a banger! The opening guitar riff IS. TO. DIE. FOR. It’s deep, low, guttural, and my favourite riff that I’ve heard in a long time. I could listen to it on … Continue reading Story of the Year: War
Music guru, Eric Alper, recently tweeted, “Try listening to different music genres to expand not only your creativity, but you might find your next favorite artist, too.” We take Eric’s words to heart and while we here at Amplify the Noise do listen to everything that crosses our paths, we don’t necessarily dig everything that crosses our paths. For the music that we don’t like, … Continue reading Visions of Atlantis: Clocks
Some say as you grow older, your tastes and attitude will become more conservative but that is clearly not the case with Anti-Flag and we are all better for it. The punk icons have put in over 30+ years of hard work and have zero signs of slowing down as their latest album Lies They Tell Our Children is an onslaught of rock and punk … Continue reading Anti-Flag: Lies They Tell Our Children
As one of my favourite Australian saying goes, Dierks Bentley is not here to fuck spiders. The country favourite is back with his latest single from his forthcoming 10th album, Gravel and Gold (February 24). “Same Ol’ Me” is a natural progression from his previously released singles “High Note” featuring Billy Strings and “Gold”. With a swamp thumping bass and drum, “Same Ol’ Me” is … Continue reading Dierks Bentley: Same Ol’ Me
