(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: House- This song's lyrical content basically tells the story of a young girl in a small town who follows her dreams of moving to the big city in hopes of running away from a mundane existence. However, as she navigates and charms her way through the shallow, sycophantic big-city nightlife, she is confronted with all the things she dreamt of having and realizes it has a price.

We wanted the dynamic changes in the song to convey to the listener a sense of a story unfolding. The opening main, heavy riff was constructed with a rhythmic swing beat to give a general mood of nightlife sex, sleaze and hedonistic escapism�.the ethereal passages were given a more dreamlike quality to feel like you were in the protagonist's head experiencing her unfolding, conflicted emotions. In the outro you hear the lyrics, "�.in your house made of clay, with your walls crumbling in�in your house made of flame, do you ever burn for Love?" This passage then builds leads into the massive, heavy conclusion�. this was meant to give the listener an indication of the protagonist's inevitable mental and emotional breakdown. - 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.
