THIS MONTHS MANIFESTO: FORCING REVIEWERS TO LISTEN TO TF&TF AT GUNPOINT... and see what happens.

Sounds LikeSilversun Pickups, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, Thurston Moore, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Mono, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, PJ Harvey, Sebadoh, Giant Drag, Wire, Nine Inch Nails, Suede, Sonic Youth, Manic Street Preachers (from 1994), Joy Division, The Postal Service, Lush, and lots of miserable 90s music they don't make anymore.

"They specialise in making a wall of noise... however with this they actually write really addictive songs to go with (their) unique sound. Basically Amy Blue have some excellent tunes... hopefully we should be hearing a lot more from a band who strive for originality." - GOD IS IN THE TV

   About Amy Blue

AMY BLUE is made up of regular British people. By standing in a room at the same time thrashing at strings and drums and stomping on fuzz pedals, they produced the noises you may be listening to right now. They recruit those who believe and destroy those who refuse to see past the haircuts and identikit janglesongs that their friends, lovers and MTV's feed them. This is LoudFuzzyNoisePop for those who dig awesome sounds.

AMY BLUE make beautiful, dark and electrifying music that's different from every band you've heard this year, or last. Pitchfork said they were "pretty clever actually". SPIN like them. Billy Corgan liked them enough to not take them to court. RedHeadedStepChild Records put them on their compilation. Their debut album is out now on ultra-limited edition CD, audio cassette+dvd-r "package" (video footage, digital art, bonus tracks and japes), and via iTunes.

Hello, thanks for the friend request, I could only get about 10 seconds of your songs to play right now on the myspace player, but you are friends with Screaming Tea Party and that 10 seconds were way good enough for me - sounds ace! You're playing on Wednesday then?

OK, well maybe see you soon!

Finally! I tried adding you ages ago but "Amy Blue does not accept requests from bands" apparently!

Good luck with the album launch!

errr...yep. it was about a year ago and i'd just discovered some loose change down the back of the sofa! I'm still trying to get to grips with it and make it sound slightly less drippy / brian eno - which is still lovely, if a little restricted.
I've discovered through chopping breakbeats into sections you can muck about and resequence them while doing all the other usual gubbins in the lightbox. Far easier to do in the MPC sampler, but not quite as pretty.
Still not sure if the tenori is the right thing for a suspected epileptic to be using tho'!

I heard that in the LHC control room in Cern they were playing a track by a little known (but destined for fame & fortune) UK band, Amy Blue. The End Of The World. Maybe you should use pics of the LHC on the EP?
Take care chaps

'lo squires,

I will definitely be at the Good Ship on the 11th. After that, the only place I'l definitely be is Barden's in November... otherwise I'm kind of prepared to drop everything last minute, just in case... :)

Thanks! The crazy thing is, that it doesn't even count as a self-release. With the registrations and everything, it will be same as if Warner or Metal Blade had released it.

Not throwing in the towel at all, but certain baby plans of my own are going to severly limit T.S.R. output for the forseeable future..

That said, I've got a solo gig on Friday if you fancy coming along?

Awesome, the first time I actually hear the "new" Amy Blue in combat. Well, at least the first time, that my cheapo tin-can speakers spit out anything intelligible.

Good stuff! Can't wait for....summer.

Well, I'll HAVE to charge something for the EPs, lest the taxman roasteth me ass!
