26 and 27 October 2006two dates to mark on the calendar for all lovers of blood rock. Barley Arts brings headliners from England to Italy for the first time Amplifier, identified by critics as the 'next real thing' in British rock.
It will be in shops soon 'Insider', a new and third chapter in their discography. The mixture used by this trio (Sel Balamir - guitar/vocals, Matt Brobin - drums, Neil Mahoney - bass) is explosive: 70s rock roots, devastating sound and strong emotional impact. These are the characteristics that have earned them the praise of the most important specialist publications:
'Amplifier descend like a pocket apocalypse...Great free-flowing grooves transforming sunburst waves of uplift' Roger Morton NME
'A British rock-scene altering record. Enjoy it in all its infinite glory' Kerrang! 5/5
'No other record this year will have the audacity to field such lofty ambitions, let alone have the skills to fulfil them' NME 9/10
Think Sabbath meets Floyd meets The God Machine. Think trippy, heavy as fuck sonic violence. Think the future of rock' Metal Hammer 9/10
'At present British rock doesn't get much better than this' Q 4/5
It serves little purpose to add to these definitions... anyone who loves real rock is forewarned...
