Review by Dave Anastasi

I reviewed these guys just a few months ago, so I really had no intention of doing another piece on them tonight. I mean... what more can be said about a band that the internet seems to know nothing about? They've got no CD, so I can't talk about that... no website with any biographical information that I can reference... they do have a myspace page with 2 songs available for your listening pleasure-- eloquently entitled Song 4 and Song 1. And, on that myspace page, they fascinatingly list their influences as "good music, bad music...good people, bad people."

So what more can be said?

Well, quite simply... This band kicks ass and you should make it a point to go see them.

It's definitely hard to pin Amoroso down. As I wrote before, they sound to my ears like a marriage of post rock, metal, and progressive rock, but it's so much more than that. It's so much more than a guitar, a bass, and a drum set. Amoroso's music is a living, breathing beast. I can't think of any other way to put it.

Many musicians exhibit virtuosity by littering their songs with screaming guitar solos and notey riffs. But that concept, it seems, has never crossed the minds of Amoroso. They are slaves to the music, and the music has decided that individual pretentiousness just isn't in the cards, and that the remarkable talents possessed by this trio should serve a more noble cause. Needless to say, this is a good thing for Amoroso.

Keep an eye and an ear on this band. The best is yet to come.
