The Amps

How come nobody thought of naming their band 'The Amps' before 1995 ? Although a very obvious name it sure has a cool ring to it and is instantly memorable. Put together by Kim Deal while The Breeders were on hiatus due to twin sis Kelley Deal's apparent drug addiction, Pacer is a glorified Breeders album but somehow its often skipped by the Breeders and Pixies fans. In a way, its a hidden gem that deserves more ears.
