"Country-Punk with a smidgeon of Power-Pop. It's like the Everly Brothers teaming up with The Pixies, whilst Tom Waits and Weezer try and get a word in"

Vic Galloway (Radio Scotland)

"They're rooted in the blues with a punk aesthetic, but veer boldly into country balladry and sexually-explicit punk numbers"

The Herald

"..a shifting of pace and style that sets them aside from obvious comparisons e.g. White Stripes or Sons and Daughters"

“"They're rooted in the blues with a punk aesthetic, but veer boldly into country balladry and sexually-explicit punk numbers"

The Herald

“Together, they mix up country punk and dark lyrics. What the Violent Femmes would sound like if they listened to Super Furry Animals.”

“...as rough and ready as anything Joe Strummer could muster, and just as life affirming” Bearded Magazine

""Tear It Open is leaner than a fillet of Wagu beef, pumped up more than Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando and dripping with more sweat than a couple of teenagers upstairs in a bedroom at a house party. It's astonishing”

Incendiary Magazine

"...watching surf rub elbows with Cash's Sun singles is ludicrous; in the Amps' hands, they make perfect sense. Tear It Open reminds us all of what it means to be a fan, of loving music with your ears and your heart and not caring much about where it comes from." Aversion
