news about Note to Amy
Our gig at De Gooth (Ridderkerk) on December 3th is cancelled, due to a dreadful car accident which took place around Lage Zwaluwe last Saturday.
One of the three passengers (regular visitors of De Gooth) died on the spot at the age of 23, two other young people were seriously injured.
Our thoughts go out to the them, their friends and families and everyone at De Gooth.
We are absolutely delighted to announce our first number 1 chart position for Deflower, taken from our album “Midnight Arsons/Morning Ghosts”.
The independent Dutch Free40 charts are comprised of alternative singles and downloads.
To celebrate this joyful event, we’re giving the track Deflower away as a free download on our Facebook page.
Head over and download it for free only this week.

Out of almost 600 bands Note to Amy was selected as one of the 36 acts to join the Macbeth voting competition.

Please take a moment to do so! We’ll be forever grateful. And besides that you can also win some very nice prizes!
We’re about to release our new album Midnight Arsons/Morning Ghosts (Graviton/Rough Trade). Because of this upcoming event, we decided to put a second track online. After the release of Deflower, you can now listen to Oak, a catchy rock song with an uplifting punk rock vibe. For now, the track will only be available through our Facebook page.
In order to listen to the song please click on the link below and have a listen. We’ll give away a single cd (containing Deflower and Oak) to five people that like Note to Amy on Facebook. And please don’t forget to let us know what you think of Oak!
A few weeks back we got a really nice review in the magazine Rocktribune.
We’d thought it might be nice to share with you all.
Note To Amy
Deflower
‘Deflower’ van het Nederlandse Note To Amy is een voorproefje voor het volledige album dat de band later dit jaar zelf uit zal gaan brengen en telt twee heerlijke uptempo rocktracks. De vergelijking die in de begeleidende biografie wordt getrokken met ondermeer Volbeat, is te begrijpen, al ligt het er tegelijkertijd ook weer niet te dik bovenop dat deze band als inspiratiebron gediend heeft. Wat mij betreft kunnen op basis van de twee tracks op dit schijfje – naast ‘Deflower’, bevat het een track getiteld ‘Oak’, met een zo mogelijk nog sterker gezongen refrein dan dat van de titeltrack – zo met elkaar op tour. Benieuwd hoe die volledige plaat gaat klinken!
