With their forthcoming album 21st Century Fiction out in May, The Amazons are back with new music featuring thundering riffs and raw energy aplenty, which they’re set to bring to Manchester’s Albert Hall on the 25th of October!
The band’s fourth studio album, 21st Century Fiction is the sound of “a man in his late 20s, struggling with unrealistic ideals of masculinity and a sense of unfulfilled promise”, surrounded by “a world plagued by chaos.”
These were songs that Thomson needed to write, not just to lift himself from the doldrums, but for a generation of young males with the same struggles. 21st Century Fiction signals the emergence of The Amazons’ bold new sound – still loaded with riffs and roaring with aggression, but packed with a whole new level of introspection, energy and grandiose. With three huge Top 10 records and sold out shows across the globe under their belts, The Amazons are facing their futures: fired up and ready to go.

“A whirlwind of polished, widescreen anthems, it’s a full throttle rollercoaster that you’ll want to ride again and again. They’ve finally evolved from promising upstarts to one of the best pure rock bands operating today.”
