Album Write Up (by Will Gardiner):
.
Phillies – Written by Will Gardiner & Sean Killa
This song was written sitting under a print of the famous painting “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” (reinterpretation of Edward Hoppers famous “Nighthawks”)
Gearing up for a tour, Killa & Gardiner started with the riff which lead into a night of writing & jamming.
The meaning of the song comes from having to leave your loved ones for tours & the fear of coming home to find you’ve been left for another.
The title “Phillies” was taken from the painting which is clearly signed on top of the bar.
San Francisco
Whilst on tour on the East Coast of Tasmania, the song San Francisco was born.
The song reflects on growing up and moving so frequently, yet seeing most people staying in their own towns and following closely in their families footsteps.
Reflecting on missing home, San Fran is also about making a change & breaking from the mold.
Waiting – Written by Will Gardiner & Sean Kil
On tour, we miss our families & kids so much. This is the story of a parent who loves is fighting to keep custody of their children.
Sorry, Not Sorry – Written by Will Gardiner, on tour in Auckland NZ
Written at a time when gay marriage was not yet legal in Australia, Will wrote a song for his friends.
Not only for the friends affected by this, but for all people who feel targeted for being different & bullied for being themselves.

The Story – Written by Will Gardiner, Torquay AUS
A story of taking the one you love back to your home town, seeing how it’s all changed & reminiscing about days gone by.
Secret Song – Written by David Gardiner
Written by Will’s dad, David Gardiner in the late 1980’s, Will came across an old VHS tape with this song & added it to the bands set list.
This was debuted at an event that David Gardiner was attending & had to be kept secret until that night, hence the name.
Summer Breeze – Written by Will Gardiner
Torquay & Summer go hand in hand. Summer Breeze reflects on a fleeting love story which begun at Torquay Nightjar Market, mid summer.
This captures the feeling of being swept off your feet & falling head of skate shoes for eachother.
Middle Ground – Written by Will Gardiner
A day in the life of surfing. There are not telephones, no money & no worries in the water.
It’s about the search, the relief, the travel & feeling centred in life.
Follow Suit – Written by Will Gardiner
The craziest thing I’ve ever one for money was work 9-5, 5 days a week, doing something I hated.
The sarcastic line of “I saw these pictures in a magazine, now i know just where I’m going wrong” seems to sum this up nicely.
This song touches on a brainwashing school system, a corrupt government, whole generations dying in wars for rich powerful men to expand their borders & millions of images of men & women which have been doctor to be practically unattainable.
I won’t follow suit. I’ll follow my own path.

Famous Will
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.
