Amplifier stream Mystoria in full

Amplifier have launched an exclusive stream of fifth album Mystoria via TeamRock.

It’s on sale today from Superball Music. Guitarist Sel Balamir has described the ten-track work as a return to the band’s core values, saying: “We’ve gone back to just trying to write great songs and melodies, and that’s where we’ve decided to stay.”

Amplifier launch a European tour next month, including two UK shows with Kerbdog and others – one at the Ritz in Manchester on November 15, and the other at the Forum in London on November 16.

Mystoria, the follow-up to 2013’s Echo Street, is available in a range of formats.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
