"Amps II Eleven pounds out heavy distortion"

“Amps II Eleven isn't the glamorous, commercial rock 'n' metal that has been force-fed into the ears of honest music lovers everywhere. Amps II Eleven is hardcore, brash and full of pure rock fury, a welcome surprise to my ears after being bombarded by the horrible state of metal that is corporate radio.” (Megan Frye) - The State News


"album review"

If you were too scared to check out STEPSISTER lemme lay down this sound for you since you apparantly had
your head up your ass for a long time. Think the MC5, STOOGES, DEEP PURPLE (minus the keyboards),
SABBATH (when they rocked out) etc., This is 100% rock 'n roll TNT to your muthafuggin skull! If this doesn't
get your dick wet, quit saying you like rock 'n roll cuz you don't! This is like ANTI-SEEN minus the Lemmy
wannabe vocals and punk rock prententions.This is the real deal! Fuck the DARKNESS or THE HELLACOPTERS
or whatever band that attempts to be whatever band they wish they were! This band takes their influences
and FUCKS THEM IN THE ASS AND MAKES THEM CALL THEM DADDY! This is a band that is unafraid to give a
dirty sanchez to the history of rock. There was nothing before them and nothing after. They play like their
lives fucking depend on it!
If you are afraid to rock out with no fear this ain't for you! This is for the scumbags who don't care about
anything or anyone! This is for people like me! 10 beers in and nothing to lose but your life! Full on rockin'
mayhem with no regrets till the morning! Hammered and rockin' out! Do yourself a favor and move to the
midwest! Experience our down and out rock n roll blues and kill your liver whilst listening to the duel guitar
attack these bitches lay down. Furious rock n roll SAVAGES on the hunt for the next shit hole to play! Crank it
up to eleven! Buy this CD yesterday! As essential as they come! Fuckin' A! More dual guitars than MOLLY
HATCHET could wish for! Quit being a loser and start flirtin with disaster!!! They even rip off the end of
"Overkill" on track 12. YES!!! - Peacedogman.com

Bio

Rock papers throughout the country caught on to the classic hard rock antics of AmpsII Eleven making this blue collar band a contender for being ‘Best Album Of 2004’ in more than one critic's opinion. Creem Magazine wrote "Attempting to go to 11 can be risky business, but these boys seem to have made it with the drummer intact…”Gas Ass Or Grass,” “Waste Of A Pretty Face,” “Jesus Hates Cleveland,” “My Life Is Shit (But Hey, Thanks For Asking),” are soon-to-be Classics, in title, content and balls to the wall." Amps II Eleven rock so hard that HorrorwoodBabbleOn.com made the bold declaration "The Darkness is getting a lot of attention for reviving metal, but these guys got 'em beat hands down. This ladies and gentlemen, germs, bastards, kids, is one of the best albums of 2004." And Amplifier Magazine added "If you had to put a gutsy rock 'n’ roll album from the year 2004 in a time capsule, this is it."

Amps II Eleven, who have shared the stage with numerous rock 'n' roll luminaries including Marky Ramone, Brother Wayne Kramer, Thin Lizzy, DRI, Bad Wizard, Cobra Verde, Backyard Babies, All Night, High On Fire, Nashville Pussy, Gaza Strippers, New Bomb Turks and Alabama Thunderpussy, are glad to be hitting the road again. The band is likewise honored to be nominated for the second year in a row as the Best Hard Rock Band of the year by the Cleveland Free Times. Honored, they said, to be invited to "drink all the booze at the rewards ceremony." The hard rocking band who toured nationally last year will be taking their boozing and antics on the road yet again
this March.

The band's self-titled album was recorded and engineered by the band’s guitarist, Attila Csapo, and Silent Brian in early 2004. It was produced by Csapo and Amps II Eleven at Sound City Parma in Parma, OH (a top-of-the line 24 track, 2" analog studio that Csapo built). The band came together in late 2002 forming from the remains of three previous Cleveland bands: Stepsister, Southern Trespass and Shuteye. The band easily live up to their moniker, routinely being hailed as the loudest band on the bill.
The band also embodies the true spirit of their hometown: gritty, tough, hard drinking and equally hard working. Amps II Eleven proudly cites their influences, including bands like G'N'R, UFO, ZZ Top, Ramones, Pink Fairies, Grand Funk Railroad, Stooges, LA Guns, Sir Lord Baltimore, Stiff Little Fingers, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Pagans, Kyuss, MC5, Radio
Birdman, The Saints, Lynyrd Skynryd, Motorhead, Fu Manchu, Rolling Stones and Hawkwind.
