If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Harry McCoy and Karen Baglio Led by Sal Baglio (The Stompers, The Peppermint Kicks), The Amplifier Heads are back with a brand new single. "Rock N Roll Riot" is an amped up history lesson of rock and roll, equal parts garage rock and power pop, with more than a little punk thrown in. It's loud, it's brash, and it just straight up rocks. This might be the loudest song you've heard from someone whose Boston rock roots stretch back to the early 80's. "Rock N Roll Riot" is a straight up, no nonsense rock song. It also has one of the catchiest and simple choruses around that you're sure to be singing for the rest of the day. Sal Baglio says of his band's upcoming album: “S uper 8 is a grainy film. Magic fingers in a cheap hotel. A skip and scratch of a 45 on an old hot RCA Victor. Memory. Lotsa sax. The sound of an AM radio just off the dial on top of a kitchen table 1965. An old Circus magazine in a basement box. The banging of an old ...

The Amplifier Heads have a new album due next month that's also a rock opera about an alien invasion. The first single sees the Boston band join forces with Barrence Whitfield, so we simply can't resist this one. "They Came to Rock" is a groovy and swinging garage rock song that is going to work for anyone that enjoys music that is just fun. And that's what this song is. Any song called "They Came to Rock" better be fun, and The Amplifier Heads break out the horns to insure that. Plus, Whitfield might be the most underappreciated vocalist in all of Boston. The man has a truly powerful voice that is just meant to provide a good time. This might be the best pairing in all of the Boston music scene this year. Sal Baglio says of his band's new single: “ Songs From They Came To Rock  is a soundtrack record and I felt that it should have different voices besides my own for various tracks. Barrence Whitfield was the only artist I thought of for singing the ...

When it's eleven days away from Halloween, we simply can't resist a song called "Zombie Moon." It helps when it's a great song from a band like The Amplifier Heads. The Boston band's new song has this great 60's pop feel mixed with 70's power pop along with a modern indie rock vibe. "Zombie Moon" is kind of an amped up crooner song with some harder drums and a slacker vibe. The Amplifier Heads have crafted a song that's more Frankenstein's monster than zombie, with pieces taken from genres and just pieced together. The genres don't meld together, but are more stitched to each other. But, it's as fun as a song released in October called "Zombie Moon" should be. You can listen to "Zombie Moon" below. Rectifier is due out October 24 on Rum Bar Records. For more on The Amplifier Heads, check out the band on Facebook . Zombie Moon by The Amplifier Heads
