Not really into doing the whole cheesy bio thing at the moment. How about these instead-

“If We Dare Win is ambitious and these days ambition is usually a recipe for disaster. But Amateurs ground their songs in images not concepts, and focused musicianship instead of indulgent show offery.”

- Farwest Almanac

“If We Dare Win is the forthcoming EP from this L.A. five-piece that gives you a little twang, a little brass and plenty of hooks.”
- BuzzBands.la

“Indeed, every song from the set sounded full, making even their most laid back rhythms feel confident and infectious. Listening to them, I was reminded of the best parts of 70s rock. “Groove” is a word I try to avoid, but I think it’s apt here. With touches of indie rock-guitar and bright, trumpeted melodies, their sound — and show — is definitely worth your time.”
