Ampsex
-from San Francisco, CA
-Singer/songwriter Rick Garcia describes his band's sound as a unique combination of the personal, vulnerable, raw and genuine songwriting style of Ampsex with a touch of Weezer’s pop sensibility, the hard-hitting power ofGuns N’Roses , and the quirky humor of @”Weird Al” Yankovic. The result is a sound that is both familiar and fresh, with a touch of comedic genius that sets it apart from the rest. Despite its playful nature, the band's sound is also grounded in a genuine rock pedigree and a deep reverence for classic guitar tones that draw from punk and heavy metal sensibilities.

Garcia's songwriting style is unorthodox and unexpected, shaped by his experiences in the San Francisco club scene where he honed his craft in front of live audiences. He believes that true creativity comes from taking risks and challenging both himself and the crowd. When a new song resonates with the audience, there's a moment of pure magic that lets you know you've hit on something truly special.

Ampsex's sound is characterized by a balance of gritty punk aggression and the heavier, more intense riffing of classic heavy metal. This is reflected in their guitar tones, which have a raw and powerful edge that cuts through the mix. Despite the aggressive nature of their sound, there is also a strong sense of melody that is woven throughout their songs, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
