Saw them live last week, and now can't get enough of their space-prog riff domination.The thing about the word "prog" is that it rather conjures up images of hour long flute epics based around hobbits, or something. And that's really not what Mancunian three piece Amplifier are all about.
However, their most recent release is a two hour epic cosmic guitar epic based around a space-faring, dark matter trading cephalopod, or something.
Which does sound kind of prog.
Consequently, it can be a bit difficult to explain to people just how damn good this band is. And all the other stock phrases - driving rhythms, wall of sound, sweeping epic guitars, soaring vocals - just make them sound a bit like the band U2 think they are.
And Amplifier aren't anywhere near that shit, I swear.
