Music career
Amy Meredith released a self-titled EP in 2008. In 2009, having already been dropped from their label Tsubi/Ksubi,[1] Amy Meredith signed a deal with Sony Music Australia,[2] and released their debut single Pornstar, which peaked at No. 65 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[3] In March 2010, Amy Meredith released their second single, Lying,[4] which peaked at No. 10,[5] making it their only top 10 single. Their debut album, Restless was released on 2 July 2010 and reached No. 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[6] The album was met with negative reviews and shortly afterwards Sony terminated their deal with the band, so Amy Meredith turned to Vector Management for a distribution deal.[7]
In 2013, with no label, Amy Meredith tried to release their second album, Maps following a crowd funding effort to raise the required money,[8] however the album was not a success and failed to produce any charted singles. Since its release the band have been inactive, and their Facebook page has displayed "new album out September" since 2013.
