About The Amazons
Hailing from Reading, The Amazons – comprising Matt Thomson (vocals, guitar), Chris Alderton (guitar), Elliot Briggs (bass), and Joe Emmett (drums) – burst onto the scene with a refreshing blend of alternative rock that quickly captivated audiences. Formed in 2014, their early EPs showcased a band with a keen ear for powerful melodies and a knack for crafting instantly memorable hooks. Their self-titled debut album in 2017 was met with critical acclaim, featuring singles like “Black Magic” and “Junk Food Forever” that became staples on rock radio and propelled them into the mainstream.
Their sound is characterised by dynamic shifts between brooding introspection and explosive, stadium-ready anthems. Follow-up albums like 2019’s Future Dust saw them explore a grittier, more expansive sound, while 2022’s How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me? showcased a more optimistic and expansive musical landscape, garnering new fans with tracks such as “In My Mind.” Over the years, The Amazons have honed a distinct identity, blending the raw energy of early noughties indie-rock with a contemporary polish, making them a formidable force in the alternative rock genre. Their live performances are legendary, known for their relentless energy and powerful connection with the audience.
