Ampere
Ampere are a four-piece screamo/hardcore punk band from Amherst, Massachusetts that began in 2002 and continue to play today. Many of the members played in other notable bands, the biggest of these being the legendary Orchid, which featured guitarist Will Killingsworth (who's a prominent figure in the screamo scene for running Dead Air studios as well). Other bands members were in include Bucket Full Of Teeth, Montcalm, Wolves, and The Last 40 Seconds, among others. Ampere themselves are quite the noteworthy band in terms of influence and importance within the genre . They play a style similar to that of Orchid in that the music is chaotic and features lyrics and ideologies that can be considered "intellectual". They also like to keep things short, especially Ampere. Most of their songs don't even clock in at a full minute, and their longest songs don't even hit two and a half minutes in length. Their live sets are also short, but blisteringly intense, as is their material on record. They've managed to keep fairly busy in their decade of existence, especially considered the fact that operate under rigid DIY ethos, and they don't have a revolving door of line-up changes (it's been the same four people for their entire tenure). So, yeah, enjoy, as I'm sure you will.
