First draft of article 

A/M/B/E/R are a new upcoming band from Cwmbran, South Wales broke into the Indie rock scene in mid-2015 and have continued to rise in stardom ever since.  Not only are they able to be true indie rockers but have also been able to infuse hard rock and grunge into their style.

With work beginning on their second EP and first tour across Britain coming up in a few months, the lads (Lewis, Tom, Joe and Sam) have given time from their busy schedule to give us an EXCLUSIVE interview in their studio wearing their iconic style of leather jackets and black jeans looking as laid back as ever.

So Lewis , what’s it like being the lead vocalist in the most promising band since the Arctic Monkeys?

Lewis: Comparing us to the Arctic Monkeys… well that’s a pretty high bar! It has been amazing; everyone’s been supportive of what we’re doing and quickly going from pub gigs in front of 20/30 people to a few hundred it’s kinda terrifying.

Sam: Most promising band, I’m sure there are others just as good. All we do is just play what we want to and people apparently like it. It’s fun doing the gigs now and we’re slowly getting used to it.

How did you guys all meet and decide to start a band?

Joe: Well me and Tom went to the same secondary school and we met Sam and Lewis through mutual friends and it just started from there really. Once at a party this guy had a room full of instruments and we just started jamming in there and we just clicked.

What made you guys want to play indie rock?

Tom: It’s just the music we’re into; we all like the same kinda stuff like Fleetwood Mac, the Arctic Monkeys and that sorta stuff. However, we want to give our own spin on our music and make sure we are doing our own thing not copying off anyone else

Did you ever expect you latest single ‘Mikala’ to do as well as it did?

Tom: We knew it would do okay and sell enough to decide whether we’d consider releasing another single. We never did expect it to blow up the way it did; I don’t think anyone expects their music to sell as much as they do because high expectations can be a bad thing y’know.

There have been rumours that before you start your own tour, that you would be supporting Catfish and Bottlemen in their tour. Is it a yay or nay?

Lewis: We can finally say that we are! We can’t be any happier to support the guys who gave us the inspiration to become a band. The guys in Catfish are great and we all can’t wait to tour with them.

With you beginning work on your second EP, can you give us any hints about what will be on it?

Sam: It’s still early days yet but we’ve been working on more original songs so there aren’t any covers unlike our first EP. It means a lot that the fans are so excited for it.
