about

We've just finished recording our very first full-length album at a studio here in Boulder. We're so excited to share it with you all that we decided to release some demo mixes of the songs as a free EP while the rest of the album's being mixed and mastered. We had a great time recording it, and we hope you'll like it just as much.


You can find out more about us by going to our Facebook page (facebook.com/theamendsband) or our currently under-construction web site (theamendsmusic.com). We'll let you know there and here about the exact details of when the full album's coming out. But in case you've stumbled upon this site blind, here's a bit about us...

*****
We're The Amends, and we're based in Boulder and Denver, Colorado. We're first and foremost a rock and roll band. Our influences are varied-- indie, alternative, blues-- but our focus is writing and playing good old-fashioned melodic, foot-stomping, rock n roll. Our songs are driven by guitars and piano and anchored by an incredible rhythm section. Our main songwriters Tyler and Drew bring together different backgrounds and influences (blues-loving guitar shredder vs. Dylan-worshiping indie rocker)-- to form something exciting and new, but anchored in the best traditions of rock.

Track Name: Dance (demo mix)
Breathe breathe in and out
Dance Dance twirl about
You gotta move move
Move to prove you’ve got nothing to lose

You gotta shake shake shake the past
Make make make it last
Get lit up twist and shout
Snort shit up then sort it out

In the mean time, I’ve gotta know
Who’s the silicone stranger, dressed for the show
And at the same time I wanna stay
(I know) you feel my pain, but I ain’t got all night
And your bad glance tells me I still ain’t right
(dance)

Breathe breathe dance and dance
You’ve gotta chalk your luck on up to chance
You’ve gotta move move
Keep on moving till you hit the wall

You gotta shake shake shake the past
Make make this time last
The world’s too big or it’s way too small
Everything is everything or nothing at all

In the mean time, I’ve gotta know
Who’s the silicone stranger, dressed for the show
And at the same time I wanna stay
(I know) you feel my pain, but I ain’t got all night
And your bad glance tells me I still ain’t right

Woo-hoo-hoo…
Track Name: Hey Regina (demo mix)
This ain't no fairy tale or fable, as she climbs across the table
And she whispers what she's able to do.
I'm no knight in shining armor, and I already warned her
About my limitations
Her soul twists around my skin but I won't let her in
I don't want no complications

Hey Regina, I didn't mean to come see you tonight
But your door was open and my heart was broken and I didn't think you'd mind
Hey Regina, I didn't mean to come see you tonight
But your door was open and my heart was broken and your body felt just right

She don't want me for my body, I don't want her for her mind
I'm just a little game to help her pass the time
We've got flesh and lust and mutual distrust and hours and hours to unwind
We've got flesh and lust and mutual distrust and hours and hours to unwind
We've got flesh and lust and mutual distrust and hours and hours to unwind

If I let you use me, can I use you too?
I'm in a lewd kind of mood but my view is skewed
By the swoons you induce in the other dudes you seduce
I'll have to make do with the sighs you produce
Your bottles of booze, your pills from Peru
High-heeled shoes, that blouse I see through
Your long trail of clues that lead to nothing new
I'm not as shrewd as you, you can see through my ruse

But I'll subdue your tattoo if it's the last thing I do
If you be my muse for a few, then I'll stop singing the blues

This ain't no fairy tale or fable, as she climbs across the table
And she whispers what she's able to do.
I'm no knight in shining armor, and I already warned her
About my limitations
Her soul twists around my skin but I won't let her in
I don't want no complications

Hey Regina, I didn't mean to come see you tonight
But your door was open and my heart was broken and I didn't think you'd mind
Hey Regina, I didn't mean to come see you tonight
But your door was open and my heart was broken and your body felt just right
Track Name: Real Life
Verse 1:
I want a real life, I wanna go
I don’t feel fine with takin it slow
Don’t wanna take time to learn how to grow
I need a straight line right through the door

But if you’re comin down I want to see
The kind of new life that this one would be
If it’s a real life you’re offering me
Or is the cure worse than the disease

Chorus:
I got away-oh
Got born anew
I got away-oh
Got born anew
(Oh God I knew)

Verse 2:
I want a real life, I wanna go
I don’t have time to learn how to grow
I didn’t realize till I’m on the floor
I need a real life, not a plateau

If you’re comin down I want to see
The kind of new life that this one would be
If it’s a real life you’re offering me
Or is the cure worse than the disease


Chorus:
I got away-oh
Got born anew
I got away-oh
Got born anew
(Oh God I knew)

Bridge:
Love me leave me drive crazy, do it all that shit don’t phase me
Talk about it as you will, I don’t need to take the kill
If you say you wanna stay, maybe I will walk away
If you wanna walk away, maybe then I’ll wanna stay
Hit it high, hit it low, walkin in and out your door
I don’t ever wanna see it comin back to what I know
If you asked me yesterday, I wouldn’t know what I should say
But since it’s comin through today, well I’ve got this real life way

I need a real life
I need a real life…
Track Name: Hotel Lobby - Live at Herman's
The first thing that you said the last time were in bed, well its stuck… in my head
The new skins that we grow can’t replace all the ones that we shed
I know it’s not quite the truth, but that its not quite the same as a lie.
I guess I’ll stick around, See what else that you found, and get high… Alright

You got the hotel lobby, holding off the weight of the world
I’ll be your best friend lover or find out maybe which you prefer
Now if you go down easy, love me like you wanted to
You know you’re god damn right when ya call me baby, I come through… Right through

And if you, needed me but then you couldn’t see where I’ve gone
Just wait around for awhile, I’m sure you’ll break a smile, at dawn
The shadows, cast aside, the things we never try in the light
And then you’re showin me the things we only see at night

I’m in the hotel lobby, holding off the weight of the world
I’ll be your best friend lover or find out maybe which you prefer
Now if you go down easy, love me like you wanted to
You know you’re god damn right when ya call me baby, I come through… Right through

You say you’ve, come to stay but in another way, you’ll go.
Leave your, faith behind let’s do it, one more time, so slow
One day I’ll, think of you, and play a note or two with some soul
I need you up and down, I want you all around, well I know well I know well I know God I know

We’re in the hotel lobby, holding off the weight of the world
I’ll be your best friend lover or find out maybe which you prefer
Now if you go down easy, love me like you wanted to
You know you’re god damn right when ya call me baby, I come through, well I knew, well I knew, God I knew.
