Another very interesting Swedish band coming up on the scene. Definitely bringing a little more pop than anything you'll hear from Miike Snow, but equally as talented. The Amplifetes, named after the first Finnish beauty queen Doris Ampfliete, are a 4 piece who have come together over the last year after working with each other off and on throughout thier individual careers. Also, they bring experience from working with incredible artists like Madonna, Grand Master Flash, and Peter Bjorn and John as well as influences like The Electric Light Orchestra, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, and David Bowie.
The Whizz Kid EP is out now and they're even letting us give these tracks away for free for the first time! 2 original tracks as well as 2 remixes of 'Whizz Kid' from Blende and The Amplifetes' own Big Beat remix.
