“A band to believe in” – Huw Stephens
“[The Amazons] are already getting people hot under the collar with their rowdy rock’n’roll.”– Beat Magazine
“One of the most exciting outfits on the live circuit” – Drowned in Sound
Reading rock quartet The Amazons can now unveil a brand new video for their heaviest track to date ‘In My Mind’. The single was first played by Huw Stephens and Greg James at Radio 1 and was premiered online by The Independent, while other radio support included Annie Mac and Dan P Carter at Radio 1, Edith Bowman, Tom Cocker and Jon Jackson’s Record of the Week at Virgin Radio, and Jo Goode at Radio X.

Directed by Chris Hugall, the new video for ‘In My Mind’ captures the band excelling in their natural environment with an explosive performance which reflects the raw energy of their gigs. Vocalist/guitarist Matt  Thomson leads with a captivating and charismatic presence, while his bandmates – Chris Alderton (guitar), Elliott Briggs (bass) and Joe Emmett (drums) – bound with exuberant enthusiasm and impeccable musicianship.
The track itself was produced by Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice, Foals, The Vaccines) and captures The Amazons’ ability to blend a fiery cocktail of aggressive stop-start dynamics with an anthemic hook which is topped by frontman Thomson’s powerfully controlled vocal delivery.
Inspired by the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age and Arcade Fire, The Amazons formed in their hometown of Reading. They first gained traction on the back of their debut EP ‘Don’t You Wanna?’ (particularly its track ‘Ultraviolet’) and they continued to build their reputation with the follow-up ‘Stay With Me’ and then ‘Nightdriving’ which was premiered by Huw Stephens at Radio 1, championed by Steve Lamacq at 6 Music and picked as Q’s Track of the Day.
The Amazons’ summer festival touring has already encompassed Truck, Beat Herder, Standon Calling, Y Not and Kendal Calling and continues with the likes of Festival No.6 and Neighbourhood Festival.
