I think saying that Selis the backbone definatly either needs deletion, changing or citation.

  • I couldn't agree more. It reads like a corporate bio or the droolings of a starry-eyed fan. I vote for deletion; it adds nothing. TorbenFrost (talk) 13:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Sel writes and arranges all the songs. Though I would say the backbone is Matts drumming, esp. live, holding everything together.

He writes all of the songs? Even the drum and basslines? I just think the phrase need s little mroe detail.

On both the album and EPs all writing credits belong to Sel. He is able to play bass and drums as well as guitar. Songs sometime develop from Jamming but most comes from him. Check the audio interview with Neil (bass) at http://www.rxdesignz.com/mp3/Amplifier_-_Neil_Interview_2005.mp3.

[edit] US releases?

So how come these boys haven't made any official US releases? They're quite good, I had to use Limewire to get their music, though. If they released an album over here 'cross the pond, I'd definitely buy it. -albrozdude 05:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

There has never been a label for them in America, nor the support. The releases can be bought and shipped internationally from hmv.co.uk
