Amy Meredith: “Pornstar” – Single
These up and coming rockers from Sydney are destined to take the Australian music scene by storm with their punchy pop rock single “Pornstar”.
Amy Meredith's debut single "Pornstar" is out now.
It’s not often we do music reviews here, but every so often we find some tunes that really gets our blood pumping.
Up and coming Sydney rock band, Amy Meredith’s debut single ”Pornstar” is one of those songs.
These five young rockers originally joined forces back in 2006, after members from various local Sutherland Shire bands came together.
They had a bit of a false start in the music scene, signing with fashion brand Ksubi’s now defunct in-house record label — after which they turned to extensive touring and writing new tracks.
In 2008, the band released the self titled EP “Amy Meredith”, which featured the quote “Smiths/Joy Division” inspired track “Black Eyes”. The song saw moderate success, becoming the “Free Single of the Week” on the Australian iTunes Music Store — often a sign of future success.
Earlier this year, the band signed with major label Sony Music, under which they’ll release their debut album in 2010.
But for now, the band’s debut single “Pornstar” is out and it gives us a taste of what’s to come on the band’s forthcoming album.
With it’s punchy pop sensibilities, the single is sure to have broad appeal. It’s reminiscent of both The Killers earlier alternative rock work “Mr Brightside” and their more recent synth based endeavours “Spaceman” and “Human”.
The possibilities for Amy Meredith’s evolution into more of a rock and pop synth fusion is pretty evident, just from the progression the band made from “Black Eyes” to “Pornstar”.
Whether this is the direction the band is moving towards, or if they’ll return to their alternative rock roots remains to be seen.
Whatever the band comes out with next year is sure to be just beginning for these talented young Sydney siders.
Keep an eye out for Amy Meredith, I have an inkling they’re going to be huge.
