MUSIC REVIEW – Little Brother Eli EP by Little Brother Eli
Alternative Magazine Online interviewed Little Brother Eli in early 2013, describing their first song 'Awkward Positions' as "wonderfully moody and bluesy". The exclusive online interview – with frontmen Alex Grew and Joshua Rigal – not only highlighted a wealth of musical talent, but also promised great things to come. The debut Little Brother Eli EP may only be three songs long – but boy, does it deliver.

Download numbers of their tracks break the thousands. AMO is therefore proud to present an exclusive online interview with Josh & Jysi Hewitt, aka Amarante!

MUSIC REVIEW – American Master by The Changes
American Master is the brand new album from The Changes. After making such a scene with their spectacular debut album Today Is Tonight in 2006, this talented indie band seemed destined for greatness. However, soon after their first album was released they quickly disappeared into relative obscurity, kept alive only by the dedicated fans who patiently waited in dwindling hope for new material to appear. Lead singer Darren Spitzer told Alternative Magazine Online in 2010 that he wasn't sure about a new album, 'but we always have tons of songs.' However, it's now 2013 and – against the odds – The Changes have finally released a follow-up album, American Master, after working on it over the past five years.
