You might not guess it from the name, but Amy Meredith is an energetic pop/rock band featuring five young men from Sutherland Shire in Sydney, Australia. Amy Meredith was formed in 2006 by lead singer, principle songwriter, and sometimes keyboard man Christian Lo Russo; eager to form a band, he met three like-minded local musicians, Joel Chapman (guitar), Cam Laing (guitar), and Wade Osborn (bass), and they decided to join forces. After recruiting a drummer, Kosta Theodosis, they chose the name Amy Meredith and began writing songs, and once the group had recorded demos of a few tunes and played a small handful of shows, they began fielding offers from several major record labels. After playing some showcase gigs in the United States, Amy Meredith struck a deal with a Japanese label, but soon severed ties with them in favor of self-releasing an EP in 2008 and honing their strengths as musicians and songwriters. The band toured with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:6qyi8X6MdP1lu6B1K6yh3h">Silversun Pickups</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2bcrMsFlF632EQ6VZERWFu">the Bravery</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1mmehjf7eHA10uHMisZGJg">!!!</a>, and eventually landed a record deal with Sony Australia. In 2010, Amy Meredith's debut album, Restless, was released, and on the strength of singles like "Lying" and "Pornstar" and touring with <a href="spotify:artist:21UJ7PRWb3Etgsu99f8yo8">Stereophonics</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2aYJ5LAta2ScCdfLhKgZOY">Cobra Starship</a>, the album became a commercial success, rising to the Top Ten of the Australian charts, and earning enthusiastic reviews from critics. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
