If The Amazons sound like they could be a gang from cult B-movie The Warriors, well, you’re not far off. Just replace 1970s New York with the wilds of Reading, Berkshire, and you have a foursome to be reckoned with.
The most hotly tipped guitar band of 2017 according to Music Week, The Amazons were shortlisted for the BBC Music Sound of 2017 poll, nominated for Q’s Best Breakthrough Act gong and made an appearance in MTV Brand New 2017 list. They also featured in
Apple Music’s New Artists 2017 playlist and popped up in Amazon UK’s Ones To Watch and Deezer’s pick for 2017 polls.
Meanwhile thebroadsheets and music press have been all over them, with NME,Kerrang, Metro, Daily Star, Daily Mirror, Gigwise and Radio X all tippingthem for greatness. Beat 1’s Zane Lowe is a huge fan, and so are Radio1’s Huw Stephens, Annie Mac, Clara Amfo, Nick Grimshaw, Mistajam and Greg James. Frankly, it’s not hard to see why.
