Amps For Christ

Amps For Christ is the long-running experimental music project helmed by Henry Barnes, known for his earlier work with the surrealist collective Caroliner. Since the mid-1990s, the project has carved out a niche blending lo-fi folk, noise, and global music traditions, often incorporating homemade instruments, banjos, and circuit-bent electronics. Their collage-like sound—equally likely to feature Appalachian folk melodies as harsh noise bursts—embodies a playful DIY ethos. Recent releases like their 2023 split with The Bastard Noise and *Every Eleven Seconds* (2022) continue their tradition of collaborative, genre-blurring work, while albums such as *The People At Large* (2020) showcase their affinity for weaving psychedelic textures with acoustic storytelling. Amps For Christ remains a cult favorite for listeners drawn to raw, exploratory music that defies categorization.
