The Amazons, officially the most hotly-tipped guitar band of the year after being including in the likes of the BBC Sound of 2017 Poll and Apple Music and Deezer’s picks for 2017, have unveiled their brand new riff-tastic single Black Magic which premiered as MistaJam’s Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1 on Monday night. Check it out below!
The new single is the latest in a growing collection of killer singles as the Reading band gear up for the release of their debut album, due this summer. In addition to the new single, The Amazons are heading out on their biggest UK tour to date next month (dates below) which includes a sold out show at London’s Dingwalls. If you’d be interested in heading down to a show, or to interview the band, let me know and I can look to arrange!
The Amazons’ first show of 2017 was a short set before a tiny audience at the BBC’s Maida ValeStudios for Radio 1’s Future Festival. They’re now poised to hit the road for the following dates which include a London show at Dingwalls and a homecoming gig at Reading’s Sub89:
