The Band consists of:
Singers David Barrett and Nick Webber,
Lead guitarist James Goodliffe,
Bass guitarist and Trumpet player Dan Newton,
Pianist Alex Novo Tellado who also plays keyboards, synths, saxaphone and clarinet and
Drummer/percussionist of the group Tom Goodwin.
Amber is a six-piece band that creates mellow, understated, acoustic music which crescendos into a variety of instrumentally led sections that fully utilise the musical dexterity of the group.
Originating from East Anglia, the band met in College and formed Full Service History. Playing the odd gig here and there, the band started to form some idea of musical direction and began writing. With a swift dip into the name Hoax, Amber was finally born and the band gained some recognition by gigging around the area and continued to write for an upcoming recording.
Their first EP, Played Inside (Summer 2004), was an album strongly influenced by the singer-songwriter style; creating melodies around a guitar to create a pop-like sensibility that is especially felt in Nature Boy and On the TV. Many of the songs featured on this EP have performed superbly well on the Internet based radio show, The Volts Show. Amber have regularly appeared in the top 20 for a number of weeks now, proving consistently popular with the listeners who occasionally deem Amber worthy of the number one spot!
Throughout the nascent years of Amber, the torrid world of education has often played a devilish hand. Prior to, and after, the recording of Played Inside, the band members university commitments played a role, leaving the group on hiatus for the better part of the year.
The lengthy break left Amber eager to record their new EP and to practice and develop their new techniques and direction. In Summer 2005 the band recorded the 'no rush' EP showing a new dexterity in the band; producing exciting music that developed instrumental scope coupled with softly softly lyrical melodies.
Amber's new Ep 'no rush' is now available from the shop page of their official website and will be recieving airtime from various UK radio stations over the coming months
