Get Amped are a UK band. Their album, 'Postcards From Hell', is set to take the UK by storm.
The band is made up of Rick and Tim (brothers) and Jason.
Rick and Tim moved a lot when they were younger and learnt about lots of different cultures so they try to incorpirate that into their music.
They also like to surf in their spare time.
They went on tour with Rooster in October 2006.
(It was amazing - I was there!)
H: Hey, have you heard that new song by Get Amped? Its called 'In Control'?
J: Yeah, it rocks, doesn't it?
A kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely observed in vivid sensory details-‘raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee’-briefly soaking in the experience of being alive, an act that is done purely for its own sake
Origins: From albedo, a physics term that describes the proportion of light reflected by a substance (from Latin, 'whiteness'). Ambedo refers to the tendency both to reflect and to absorb. So add the prefix ambi, 'both' -and we have a new word, ambedo. Ambedo is also a Latin word meaning "I gnaw" or "I weather away."
“Today I find myself caught in a state of ambedo as I watch the world around me.”
