Since their inception in early 2006, the Amend has been on a non-stop mission to bring their unique brand of rock to as many people as possible through explosively high-energy live shows. As a 5-piece band, each member brings to the table a variety of influences from the obscure to the mainstream, the culmination of which gives The Amend their distinct but unified sound.
The Amend is comprised of five friends, united by their love for music and their obsession for creating and performing it. For over two years, bassist Bryan Abercrombie, guitarists Seth Rowlette and Ryan Hughes, drummer Matt Sharon and frontman Brian Thomas have worked to develop a style of music that represents not only the individual members themselves, but also the band as a whole. This expression was realized in their debut album, “A Deafening Silence”.
“A Deafening Silence” was recorded in October of ’06 when The Amend traveled to Chapel Hill, NC to work with Al Jacob and Mitch Marlow (former guitarist for Classic Case and touring guitarist for Filter) @ Warrior Sound Studios. On a tight time line The Amend recorded the entire album in 10 days and the final product "A Deafening Silence" was a huge success!
Since the official release of “A Deafening Silence” in April of 2007, The Amend has played throughout the entire south east, sharing the stage with chart topping bands such as Evans Blue, Sick Puppies, Days of the New, Day of fire, American Bang, and Luna Halo in strong support of their newly released album.
In December of ’07, The Amend took a break from the touring circuit and the guys were invited to Orlando, Fl to work with producer of Framing Hanley and vocalist of Dark New Day Brett Hestla. While there with the aid and ear of Brett, The Amend recorded a 4 song EP titled "The Let Down". The EP showed that The Amend is more than what was captured on "A Deafening Silence" and in January 2008 they were declared one of the top 20 unsigned bands in the nation to know by Tunelabs.com and in March of 2008 became tunelabs featured artist. Proving that The Amend are no let down at all and making a statement that this band will not just fade away, but be a force to drive perfect melodies and unforgettable riffs in the hearts of all.
Come support The Amend and the Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta @ The Masquerade (Heaven Stage) on Thursday Sept. 18 @ 8pm!
