Hailing from the Midlands, 5-piece melancholic synth-rockers Methods burst onto the scene in 2015 and now they’re about to embark on their biggest journey to date. Featuring 5 tracks and an intro, their brand-new EP ‘Anything’ encompasses everything this band represent; seriously impressive keyboard-heavy pop rock that sits somewhere in between Interpol, White Lies and Joy Division. The EP will land on the 4thOctober whilst first single ‘Back Of Your Hand’ launches the campaign on the 20th September.
Methods’ trademark inimitable sound has won over fans all over the UK, they’ve toured heavily around the country to showcase their music and as a result have been nominated for a Birmingham Music Award and a Black Country Music Award, not to mention picking up incredible support along the way from BBC Introducing West Midlands. ‘Anything’ is their most ambitious effort to date, an epic collection of euphoric electronics, arena-sized choruses, versatile song writing and downright likeability from start to finish. It takes you on a real musical journey of raw storytelling from 5 musicians who clearly love what they do. On creating the record, the band added:
“Back Of Your Hand’ is about TV and media controlling us, or trying to. It’s about the two-faced politicians arguing then being best friends to look good or make a point because that’s what they think people want to see, dumbing down the common people, benefitting themselves. All the songs on the EP are kind of about that subject really. Human Existence is questioning everything and anything, that’s why the EP is called ‘ANYTHING’.”
From delicate ballad-like piano, to foundation laying drums and an infectious rhythm, ‘Anything’ exploits the classic 80s electronica era with modern indie rock and roll. It bends and completely destroys genre boundaries and creates something special from the get-go. With big build ups and even bigger drops, every single song has its own unique, unforgettable moment that you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the future.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
