AMPLIFIER

Often compared to Oceansize, another group from Manchester. Not without a reason, as both groups play a very guitar driven kind of prog rock. But whereas Oceansize often flirts with post-rock of questionable quality, Amplifier just rock. And they rock in a very classy way. There are couple of space/psychedelic parts resembling the crazier moments of Oceansize's songs but they are delivered with much more taste and restraint. The singer has a very soothing voice and the melodies throughout the album are very catchy and memorable.

This is a great album to make diner to (and that's a compliment!).
