I am very excited to announce that FIGHT AMP is now part of the Starbird Booking family!
Hailing from New Jersey, FIGHT AMP is a trio that channels a sound and presence that harkens the days of old and is reminiscent of the AMREP/dirty dingy side of extreme music. They've spent nearly six years toiling over their sound, traveling the country, self-releasing records, self-booking their own tours, sweating in basements and sleeping in vans crafting what is best described as a more punk-influenced Unsane or Jesus Lizard. Fight Amp has shared the stage with such bands as Baroness, Helmet, Coliseum and Intronaut, in addition to performing at a few of Scion's metal showcases.
Their most recent full-length release, Manners and Praise, was recorded by Philip Cope (Kylesa, Baroness) and was released by Brutal Panda (vinyl) and Translation Loss (CD) in Oct '09. A 12" split with Kowloon Walled City and Ladder Devils was released this past September and they'll be recording a new EP in Summer 2011.
Immediate plans include a 2 week tour of the East coast with Kylesa to be followed by a full US tour in April and May.

"Fight Amp’s live show is akin to a sonic tornado. Fast, furious, and noisy! This band is flying the tattered noise rock flag high and doing it right!! Maybe even better than the glory days of Amrep! Prepare for your pummeling.” – Decibel

"When you look up 'tight' in the dictionary you should see a picture of Fight Amp. Monstrously, perfectly, lockbox, virgin tight." - Metalsucks.net
