The Amniotics are back with their second single ‘HMPB’. Bursting onto the scene back in April with ‘Boomerang’, the Irish four piece have garnered praise from the likes of anywhere and everywhere to really get them landing on all musical radars. Ding-a-Ling! That’s the sound of another radar they’ve appeared on, and it’s ours, and hopefully soon it will be yours.
Written about the chaos of sticking by every impulse – good or bad – and dealing with guys who thought listening to Megadeth and the Sex Pistols made them hot shit, ‘HMPB’ is a punchy number that illustrates all of that fury perfectly. Built up by raucous guitars and vocals that feel like they’re being shouted right in your face, it’s got everything you could want for when you wanna feel a little angry.
With the end of 2023 coming far quicker than anticipated, it’s great that there are still a lot of bands emerging to drop their first or second singles (it is a music blog’s dream). There’s a lot of time and ears for bands to make an impression, and The Amniotics have made a strong one here. ‘HMPB’ is a fantastic, memorable tune that will remain a staple as we head into the new year.
