Any band using Slade’s We’ll Bring The House Down as their intro tape are always going to be off to a flier and Edinburgh’s feisty trio, The Amorettes, were certainly speeding headlong on the Rock ‘n’ Roll freight train with Born To Break.
For a three piece The Amorettes don’t half raise the roof with their collision of The Runways attitude, AC/DC foot to the floor Rock and sky-scraping Slade-esq anthems.
Let The Neighbours Call The Cops marks these girls down as ones you wouldn’t want living next door when on full throttle and Bull By The Horns was no shy retiring love song.
Touring with the likes of Black Star Riders, Europe and The Dead Daisies has certainly honed their stagecraft with lead guitarist and vocalist Gill Montgomery in confident form while sisters Hannah and Heather McKay provided the power in the engine room. Four albums in, The Amorettes are loud and proud standing shoulder to shoulder to with their contemporaries.
Everything I Learned I Learned From Rock and Roll staked out their Rock’n’Roll syllabus in four sweat soaked leather clad minutes while Hot and Heavy brought some old school call and response action to a rather freezing Newcastle night.
