Disco beats pulse like hazard lights in the rain. Edge-like guitar skitters across the sky. A distant and soulful vocal pines for home. The sound of standing on the hard shoulder of the motorway at 3am.

"The Amateurs are easily one of the most talented bands that we've supported on Kerrang...
'Homesick' is a song that just oozes commercial success and The Amateurs are surely now set to move it on to the next level."
Loz Guest - Kerrang! Radio
Kerrang! Radio


"Homesick is accompanied here by two more similarly impressively turned out indie rockers in 'London Sky' and 'Mystery Thing'. Both suitably charged and up for the job either as 'B' sides or actually good enough to be the frontrunner. Birmingham indie rocksters The Amateurs show class and quality; their sound is full, rich and exciting and The Amateurs unified 'ear' for a good pop/rock song is as good as anybody's."

   About The Amateurs
iLike The Amateurs

The Amateurs live at Festibull 2009

The Birmingham based indie rock band, whose debut single 'Homesick' was released in March, have received positive acclaim from music critics and press alike during 2009.

The band’s debut release was particularly championed by Kerrang! Radio, BBC Introducing (Hereford & Worcs and West Midlands) and was “single of the week” on inthenews.co.uk above major label artists.

Working closely with London based producers The Animal Farm throughout the first half of the year, the band have built up a decent following both online and at their live performances, securing them support slots with artists including Athlete, Reverend & The Makers, Guillemots, Cage The Elephant and Kid British. The Amateurs were also awarded a slot at this year’s Leeds Festival by Oxjam.

The band are currently working on new releases with Gareth Parton (The Go! Team) and Dave Draper (They Fell From The Sky).

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.


We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.


So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.
