The Amorettes – Drop Video for New Single ‘Whatever Gets You Through the Night’

THE AMORETTES

Scots Rockers, THE AMORETTES, release their brand new video for “Whatever Gets You Through The Night” today

Taken from their Top 40 album, Born To Break, the accompanying lyric video encompasses shots of the band doing what they do best; playing live in front of an audience, with the pictures representing their continued European onslaught. All pictures courtesy of Geordy Van Velzen/Photography Fidelis and Marty Moffatt.

“Whatever Gets You Through The Night” is a song about just letting go, and being yourself.͟ Says Guitarist/Vocalist, and principle songwriter, Gill Montgomery “We are hoping it strikes a chord with listeners, and that it can relate to their individual experiences, and they can use it as an anthem to help celebrate how they live their own lives”

With the release of Born To BreakTHE AMORETTES have continued to demonstrate a considerable growth in both musicianship, and song writing, with Montgomery penning some of her most diverse material to date. “͞This is definitely a departure from our heavier catalogue,” she continues, ͞“However, I still feel that it encompasses the full Amorettes vibe.͟” And, as with the majority of Montgomery’s songs, it comes with a simple message for those who feel they may not fit in with the majority; “͞Haters are gonna hate! So, just get over it, and let your own little freaky flag fly”

The album “Born To Break” was produced by Luke Morley of UK Arena Rockers THUNDER and recorded and mixed by Nick Brine (The Darkness, Bruce Springsteen etc..) and was released in April through SPV/Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold coloured version, download and stream.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
