The Amazons - Stay With Me

1.    Who are these fine gentlemen of rock’n’roll?

2. What gifts do The Amazon’s come bearing?

Stay With Me is proto-typical English guitar indie rock. It fits in a space inbetween Oasis and Royal Blood. Stay With Me rocks hard but is not hard rock. Concise, full throttle, melodic rock'n'roll that flows like a street riot being chased by the police and it is just as pumped full of adrenaline and unforgettable.


3. Who do The Amazon’s sound like?

NME were feeling Oasis and The Indie Rock Broadcast were put in mind of Sundara Karma and Catfish and The Bottlemen.

The bands who impress The Amazons are Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Vaccines, The Arctic Monkeys, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Arcade Fire, Tame Impala and Ponds.


6. Why should I give Stay With Me a blast?

Stay With Me is another essential track in the recent English rock'n'roll renaissance and the sound of one of England's most exciting bands, top of the crop, hitting their straps. Hitting them hard. Stay With Me will be The Amazon's breakthrough hit if there is any justice in this world.

7. Have The Amazon’s graced us with any more of these belters?

Ultraviolet doesn't bang as hard but it is bloody fantastic. No fucking about.


8. Anything else to add?

Stay With Me is produced by Tom Dalgety who has sprinkled the gold dust on tunes for Royal Blood, Broken Hands and The Maccabees.

The Amazons are hitting the road and supporting The Strypes on a UK tour in March and fluffed for The Kooks last year.

“But being alone is being without you,

So stay with me”

The one two punch is delivered, hard, by Crows an alternative rock band from London with a single from their new short player Unwelcome Light (March'16). Pray (2015) is packed brim to the warehouse rafters with grainy garage riffs and a snarling vocal and is love at first lashing. BraceYourself called Pray “bloodthirsty and blunt like a fist wrapped in barbed wire.”

“His bloodshot eyes, his jagged teeth”
