   About Amateur Takes Control
Amateur Takes Control (ATC) is a band that both promises and delivers.

Inspired by the simple things such as life, love and waking up in the morning realizing you have another day to be thankful for, ATC strives to translate these inspirations into their brand of heartfelt instrumental music.

ATC originally started out as a solo project in mid 2006 by guitarist Adel but then became a full band in December 2006, now consisting of four boys sharing a genuine love for their craft. Their music is undeniably diverse in style and influence, yet still manages to showcase a seamlessness that justifies their identity as a band.

Belying their age and experience, the band is proud to have self-released an eponymous EP as well as a single entitled “Built on Miles of Hope” thus far, and is hoping to realize their dream of releasing an album in time to come.

Update!

HEY EVERYONE, Team Salad Days and *scape are bringing to you a gig (part of the Confessions series) on the 11th of July, Friday!!!

Armchair Critic and Backbeat were selected after grueling rounds of auditions, so be sure to come down and support them. If you are a fan of Giants Must Fall, Anna Judge April, or Lunar Node (or all 3), this is a great chance to catch all of them in action!

Tickets can be bought at the door for $5. Also, make sure to check out our shirt and EP (proceeds go to Boys' Town and *scape Co. Ltd.)!

If you want to pre-order shirts or have any other enquiries, feel free to email us at team.saladdays@gmail.com!

See you there! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE (we'll sing the vegetables song for you)

the album version of communication downbreak is heartbreaking, to paraphrase another led zeppelin classic.

i've got something much quieter up, if you want a little post rock lullaby :)

see you at old school!
