"American Folklore Review"

New Hampshire/Massachusetts based band Amos Fortune recently released this EP that features touches of rock, blues and folk. "Song For Francis" starts the EP off with a glorious blues guitar riff that transitions into upbeat blues rock mixed with a touch of folk. The track keeps things moving as there's a slight The Shins vibe to it. "Hoedown" is a single off the EP and recently had a music video released for it which can be viewed here. The track captivates the listener with a full spectrum of sound. The track will get you singing along to its moody chorus as well as enthrall you with its soft soothing style of rock. "American Folklore" is the title track and is the longest track off the EP. It's a track of epic proportions as it has a Simon and Garfunkel feel to it. The track just oozes passion and is a real treat to listen to. "Streetlights" introduces itself by way of amazing guitar work. The track has a good mix of rockin' guitar riffs as well as slowing it down with the soothing vocals. "Big Ol' Heart" is an emotionally charged track which starts off slow but eventually picks up. It's a mesmerizing track that is very enjoyable for anyone into rock music. It has so many great layers to it. "Robin Hood" closes out the EP with a higher tempo than the previous tracks. It takes things up a notch and has single written all over it. The track along with the EP are a catchy as hell good time to listen to.

Verdict:
Amos Fortune have an EP here that any fan of indie rock, folk or blues should check out. There's so much to enjoy in the six tracks that once it's over, you're craving to get lost in more tracks. - From The Depths Entertainment

Bio

"Amos Fortune is a testament that rock, blues and folk music fits together perfectly." 
"Amos Fortune may be a new name in the thriving New England music world, but they're a group of familiar faces. Comprised of former members of many different bands from many different genres, they've owned countless stages throughout New England, across the United States, and even abroad. Amos Fortune is a charismatic fusing of elements of driving rock, melodic folk, cool funk, and dirty electric blues, blended into a incendiary whirlwind of energy, emotion and euphoria. Cole's gritty soulful voice shines over tight grooves and soaring solos. Kayne's lead guitar screams with the classic flair reminiscent of the greats of the 60's and 70's while Eric's bass rumbles with his funky virtuosity. Josh powers through the mix with his authoritative rhythm guitar and Tom drives everything home with a solid backbeat behind the drums."
