Ampere is a prolific and influential American hardcore punk band known for their intense, fast-paced, and emotionally charged music. Emerging from the fertile music scene of Massachusetts, Ampere was formed in 2002 after the dissolution of the influential screamo band Orchid. With a sound characterized by chaotic rhythms, frantic vocals, and deeply introspective lyrics, Ampere has carved out a distinct niche within the hardcore punk and screamo scenes.
Throughout their career, they have maintained a DIY ethic, often releasing material through small independent labels and contributing to a network of like-minded bands and fans. Ampere's discography is marked by a number of splits and EPs, showcasing their ability to produce raw, compelling music while also collaborating with other artists in the punk community. "Like Shadows" (2011) is one of their standout releases, an album that resonates with their signature blend of breakneck tempos and emotive intensity. Moreover, Ampere's recent works, such as "Death Star" and the "Dial Code EP," continue to push the boundaries of their genre while maintaining the urgent, impassioned sound that has become their hallmark. Despite their underground status, Ampere's influence can be felt across the landscape of punk and hardcore music, with a legacy of innovation and sincerity in their craft.
