The grand setting of Munich's Volkstheater provides a striking backdrop for the raw, untamed energy of The Amazons. Captured in November 2017 at the PULS Festival, this performance showcases the Reading-based quartet at a pivotal moment in their career. Touring in support of their self-titled debut album, which had been released just a few months prior in May 2017, the band was filled with the hunger and ambition of a group making its mark.
From the opening chords, The Amazons unleash a torrent of powerful riffs and anthemic choruses that define their brand of rock. The setlist is a testament to the strength of their first record, featuring explosive tracks like the defiant "Junk Food Forever" and the brooding, intense "Black Magic." Frontman Matt Thomson commands the stage with a confident swagger, his vocals soaring over the tight, muscular rhythm section of Chris Alderton, Elliot Briggs, and Joe Emmett. The performance is a pure distillation of their mission to reinvigorate rock ‘n’ roll for a new generation.
This concert is more than just a festival appearance; it's a snapshot of a band on the ascent, solidifying their reputation as a formidable live act. The energy is palpable, both from the stage and the enthusiastic German crowd, making it a definitive document of The Amazons' explosive arrival onto the international scene.
