The Amateurs
"Pop, Indie, Rock, Piano"

“The word Amateur comes from French, and can be translated as “lover of”, reflecting the amateur’s motivation to work as a result of a love or passion for a particular activity.”

The Birmingham based indie rock band, whose debut single 'Homesick' was released in March, have received positive acclaim from music critics and press alike during 2009. The band’s debut release was particularly championed by Kerrang! Radio, BBC Introducing and was “single of the week” on inthenews.co.uk above major label artists.

“The 3 tracks featured deftly show what the band are capable of and why they have such an established following here in the Midlands. Track 1 'Homesick' is a song that just oozes commercial success and The Amateurs are surely now set to move it on to the next level." - Loz, Kerrang! Radio

Working closely with London based producers The Animal Farm throughout the first half of the year, the band have built up a decent following both online and at their live performances, securing them support slots with artists including Athlete, Reverend & The Makers, Guillemots, Cage The Elephant and Kid British. The Amateurs were also awarded a slot at Leeds Festival 2009 by Oxjam.

The band are currently working on a new release with Gareth Parton (The Go! Team) and Dave Draper (They Fell From the Sky).
