ARMIES
Armies meld electro-pop with duet style anthems inspired by French pop duets of the sixties. Drawing on themes based around temptation and fidelity, Armies is the darker, seedier underbelly of love put to the soundtrack of a nightclub bathroom. Armies began in Venice Beach, CA as a commercial project conceived by Dave Gutter. For the purpose of TV and Film placement only, Gutter was commissioned to write folk style duets for male and female vocals for Viacom/Rumble. After auditioning vocalists in Los Angeles, Gutter returned to Portland and finished the record with long time friend and singer-songwriter Anna Lombard. August, 2015 marked the release of Armies self-titled debut which has been featured as no. 1 in Rolling Stones 15 Great Albums You Didnt Hear in 2015.
AMY AND THE ENGINE
Having released their debut EP TandeMania, which premiered on Consequence of Sound, the Boston-based pop rock band has only been around for a little over a year and has already earned praise from Bostons most beloved music curators and has even garnered national press. From nominations for the New England Music Awards Best Songwriter, Best New Act, Pop Act of the Year, and The New England Delis Pop Act of the Year, to opening for national acts Vance Joy, Guster, Kacey Musgraves, and Rachel Platten, Amy & The Engine is poised for imminent pop success - the question is, who drives the Engine?
The answer: the new it girl. Scholastic songstress Amy Allen from Portland, Maine writes pop gold tunes you can rock out to.
After trading in her electric bass for acoustic guitar at the ripe age of 9, years of playing in bars across small town-feeling Maine, an appearance on NBCs The Voice, and eventually a songwriting degree at Berklee College of Music, Amy Allen is turning heads - and catching ears.
TandeMania premieres 6 pop-entangled rock tunes best summarized by Huffington Post as having more than just catchy hooks and peppy pop, but classic rock muscle and meaningful lyrics."
Happy to be one of the guys, Allen gets down with a worldly group of men from Berklee. The Engine is lead by longhaired, lead guitarist Vinny da Silva from Londrina, Brazil, and surf-loving drummer Mano Ruiz from Lima, Peru.
