Amy & the Engine

Boston-based indie-pop band Amy & The Engine released their long-awaited debut EP, TandeMania, in late 2015. Asked to explain the title, frontwoman and songwriter Amy Allen says, “It’s almost an oxymoron, that we want relationships for comfort and stability - yet relationships usually bring out the crazy and ‘mania’ in all of us.” The record features six retro-pop tunes described by Huffington Post as having “groovy girl-group melodies, catchy hooks, peppy pop, classic rock muscle and meaningful lyrics."
