Amanda Woodward-


Amanda Woodward -apart fron the character in you-know-the-series-from-the-nineties- is a french band from Caen.
Abstract lyrics -more like fragments of conversation- sung in french. It's not a so-called "unique band" but they are in France well respected and gave the lead to some followers. They mixed (speaking in past tense...) punkrock with emo/screamo elements. This being said, I think that's a bit harsh of a definition. I have hard times lablling bands, i'd like not to give an etiquette to amanda woodward. Intricate but urgent guitars, galloping rythms when needed, but with enough maturity and great composure in songwriting to slow down the tempo on some songs, even with some dub rythms on bass or drums.
And if Amanda woodward -the character- landed in France, Amanda woodward -the band- took off on Level plane records.
Resuming statement.
"their songs are not long, epic passages; they’re short, passionate bursts of energy that convey the band's political message in radical form. Post-rock instrumental passages, chaotic screaming, thundering guitars, and it’s tied together with a social and political message all their own."
Bottom line: get into it.
