Artist description
Over the past 2 years, Amber Brown Vision/* has established itself as one of New Jersey's top indie rock bands. The four piece, from Sayreville, NJ, has created a sound that is unique, combining a powerful rock melody with crisp, clean acoustic chords. This novel sound is fronted by pop influenced male vocals and backed by sweet melodic female harmonies. The resulting sound is "kind and sweet, yet at the same time, such a punch in the gut."

Press Reviews
"Amber Brown Vision take the Brighton Bar stage Saturday with Lord Sterling of the label Tee Pee Rec., and The Brake. The indie-rock band has been gigging around the area a lot recently, performing at Hooligans in Long Branch, NJ and the Broadway Central Cafe in South Amboy, NJ. Besides some great songwriting skills, the band's skills extend to playing the Moog, a unique keyboard with an even more unique sound. The Moog, created many decades ago, gained popularity with such bands as The Rentals, a band that Amber Brown Vision relates to in its music" ....published in The Islander 8/17/01. A local jersey shore newspaper. |
