Bio: Amodus (ah - mode- us) are an exciting four-piece who have been impressing crowds in Sydney’s clubs and pubs since 2010 with their unique style of heavy melodic rock. The band’s rare line-up is challenging the status quo – three talented female musicians provide the head-bopping, ribcage-rattling... See Full Bio

“When I go to a live rock show, I want the music to be heavy, loud, fast and furious. I want my ribcage to rattle from driving bass lines and pounding double kicks. I want every joint in my entire body to shake from the excitement of the noise, heat and power that radiates from the stage. And when the last song is over, I want to be left feeling as hot and sweaty and dirty as the room I’m standing in. Amodus' live performance has that effect on me every time. The first thing that caught my attention, and most likely yours, is the band's unique gender mix. We've got three hard-hitting, heavy-riffing girls on the instruments and a guy behind the mic. I’m a sucker for female instrumentalists in general and on the occasion when those instruments are played hard and fast, I come completely undone. These girls -- Rose (guitar), Melina (bass) and Sarah (drums) -- really know how to rock out. Between them they create an epic wave of sound that picks you up and refuses to let go....”

“As a debut long player from a young band, this is solid stuff. Everything seems to be in place: the playing is dead on the money, the production is fat and clear and they can certainly write and structure a tune. There is a strong sense of melody and dynamics at play here. And the vocals of ‘Michael’ are definitely a shining light as well, he pulls off the howling and the more delicate melodic parts with equal aplomb. There’s also certainly a strong work ethic and dedication to the cause. Taking upon yourself to fund the recording, mastering, reproduction and promotion of a full length album with minimal to no backing from anyone is no small undertaking. This alone suggests a strong sense of belief in what you’re doing. The lineup is pretty unique, so what these gals and guy need to do now is start to develop more of a signature sound that is all their own. ”

— Rod Whitfield, Buzz Magazine Australia

“Sydney-siders offer their own take on Australia’s heavy rock sound. For an album called Smokescreen, Amodus offer up very little trickery on their debut full-length record. In fact, listening to the album you can feel yourself being transported into a dark rock club, and hearing the band work through the album note for note. It’s this immediate, visceral quality that makes Smokescreen stand out in a genre where studio enhancements are commonplace and more often than not bands can’t walk the walk when it comes time to play live. On Smokescreen, the four-piece explore melody and how it reacts in close proximity with distorted, hefty riffs – even if the songs sometimes lapse into a prog sensibility that closely resembles the work of Tool. It’s worth checking out for: Tracks like Lash and Hidden Promises, where the band find their groove and construct toe-tapping hard rock tracks.”

— Tom Hersey, Rave Magazine

“Saturday 30 October 2010 saw me return to Hawkesbury Hotel at Windsor for another night of quality Sydney metal. Sandwiched between the cymbal busting screamo band Gutterstomp and amp melting Syko Sapien were Amodus who featured on Insomnia Radio: Australia episode 8. Having played the band on the podcast before, I had some idea what to expect. Gutterstomp raised the volume pretty high, damaging a cymbal after a few minutes into their set. Amodus saw my expectations and completely shattered them. While I have seen some female musicians in my time, it is still not common in my experience to see a stage full of women absolutely dominating their instruments like Rose (guitar), Melina (bass) and Sarah (drums) were. So where was vocalist Michael? Michael was all over the stage and backwards and forwards over what would be normally a mosh pit area immediately in front of the stage. ”
