If you dig this you are going to fucking love their other songs so hop on over the bandcamp and check out the rest of their discography and show them some love. Fuck the police!


Lyrics Look inside that black moving cage

Six pumping hearts filled with rage

Twelve angry eyes exchange stares

As the driver screams of hate

These are the people supposed to protect

Same people that demand your respect

Billy club and gun in their hands

Respect is something you don’t deserve

Their teeth are already asleep

As they march towards the streets

Now Here they come

Don't you dare to resist

Your family and friends

Down after every single hit

Get ready to feel

The weight of the hammer

Of unjustified

Abuse of power

Falling over your head

“But is forbidden above the hip” - You've heard

No prisoners

Will those bastards take

How bad I want you to feel pain

To paint you with a bloodstain

Unarmed, you and us

Face to face

Fuck your academy

Fuck your guns

Fuck your nonsense

Fuck police brutality


Amplify - Asturias, Spain

Hardcore punk rock band from Asturies, Spain.

We release our first album "Deadlines" a couple of years ago featuring one song called "The Hand That Hits". This song talks about how the antiriot police operates in our country, how they are untouchable by the law and how there have been reports of them doing their violent actions under the effects of cocaine and so. So we think that might be a good song for the comp.

Formed by the end of 2017 in Asturias (Spain), Amplify is melodic hardcore band that has been

deeply influenced, in terms of sound, way of composing and message to share, by bands such as

Propagandhi, NOFX, Lagwagon, Belvedere or Strike Anywhere. Since the band started, they have

played shows all over Spain and have shared the stage with great national and international bands

like NOFX, La Armada, Adrenalized, Satanic Surfers and No Fun at All. Amplify is an ambitious band and plans to make their first European tour for 2020, just as they plan to keep playing shows around Spain. The band has already participated in the 2019’s edition of the Tsunami Xixón Festival, and played in French turf (Toulouse 2019). Amplify is currently writing new music for what will become their third album.
