By The highly anticipated debut album of The Amazons has exceeded all expectations whilst not only capturing one of the best live sounding bands to date, but also turning something so rash and physically demanding into gorgeous acoustic pieces.
The four Piece from Reading have had nothing but praise since the beginning of 2017.

Not only does Matt Thomson have one of my favourite newly sounding rock voices, he absolutely smashes the vocal performance of his life in our song of the week.
Ultraviolet (Acoustic) version, which can be found on the Deluxe edition of the debut, is proof that The Amazons have not only discovered who they are as serious artists, but that they can twist and turn and adapt their loudness into something genuinely beautiful.
