Band Bio

Amaterasu are a four-piece Indie/Punk/Rock band from the Midlands. The band are yet to release an album officially but are well known on the local music scene as a great live band, having several local gigs and even supporting at a larger gig. They have also accumulated a decent following online by posting some of their tracks on YouTube ahead of their upcoming debut album. 

The band was formed whilst they were all still in college, which was only two years ago. The drummer, Jay Cooper, was previously in a college cover band but the other members of Amaterasu had no previous experience with bands prior to its formation. All four members are the same age, 19. The rest of the band is compiled of: Blake Hamilton, the lead guitarist; Leo Powell, the bassist; and the lead singer Jessica Foster. Jess and Jay are both currently focusing on their music careers following leaving school, whilst Blake works part-time in a local supermarket and Leo is a part-time Economics student at Warwick University.
