Note to Amy doesn’t like to be pigeonholed. The five members are influenced by such a wide array of musical styles that they just had to come up with something unique. Punk rock, metal, emo, heavy rock… it’s all there on debut album Midnight Arsons/Morning Ghosts. And so are the soaring melodies, crushing riffs, pounding drums, catchy vocals and dark lyrics. This Dutch band doesn’t exactly take the easy way out.
The members got together around the summer of 2005 and almost immediately started playing live. Since then they did over 100 gigs with acts like Coheed And Cambria (US), Silverstein (CA), Cancer Bats (CA), Samiam (US), The Draft (US), Mucky Pup (US), The Hard-Ons (AU) and Face Tomorrow (NL). Note to Amy’s appearance didn’t stay unnoticed. The band did some demo recordings of which three tracks were used for an MTV show. The song Mrs. Insane even got the band to win the Dutch title in online contest Burnout Bandslam, held by game developer Electronics Arts. The self-released debut E.P. The Lady’s First Song got raving reviews in Dutch magazines like Live XS, Aardschok, Up Magazine, OOR and Rock Tribune.
