Amplify Week: Day 1 "Home"

(antiMusic) Continuing our policy of showcasing up and coming artists we proud to turn the focus this week on Brooklyn rockers Amplify. These indie rocker deliver some explosive music that encompasses a lot of different influences which makes them a really compelling list. this week they'll tell us about five of their favorite tracks from their recent release 'Beneath the Beauty Lies...Heaven to Burn'Here they are with today's song: Home- This track was lyrically inspired by the events of September 11, 2001. Bobbie was actually an employee who worked in Tower One
after the collapse of the towers he spent weeks volunteering in the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. While there he found himself profoundly moved by the many people he met
.hearing their emotionally devastating tales of lost friends, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands were his inspiration for, in my opinion, this very moving piece of work. While most of our songs have been said to have many elements of prog-rock and metal, we decided to keep this particular song straight-ahead and to the point. We wanted a composition that would be timeless and really stand out from being labeled into any particular genre of music
as Bobbie stated, "
although inspired by those tragic events that touched us all deeply, we feel the message is a universal one of Hope, Love and Strength after tragedy." Check out some of the songs from the CD, learn more about the band and once they've won you over you can buy the CD - here as well.
