Amplified Heat Featured in Austin Chronicle

Anyone who's ever witnessed Amplified Heat ignite live knows the Ortiz brothers never back down from confrontation. On the contrary, the Austin trio's skuzzy blues hearken back to a time when rock & roll was still something to fear. read more...

Amplified Heat and Shandon Sahm

Amplified Heat has been bringing their own take on late-60's heavy blues rock for the past several years, leaving a mile-wide swath of destruction and dropping jaws wherever they go. The best all-brother power trio in Texas, if not the Northern Hemisphere. So much talent in the Ortiz family, it`s almost not fair!

In For Sin Review

To put it as succinctly as possible In for Sin, is raucous. The band’s name is apt, as the record burns fast and bright. Like RPG, Amplified Heat capture the manic, almost-out-of-control energy of the MC5, but their direction is more rooted in 60s blues rock (think Orange Sunshine). It’s not often that you hear a studio album that has the energy of a live show, and although I’ve yet to see Amplified Heat, In for Sin strikes me as being one of those rarities. It’s a boilermaker of a disc, the kind that makes you stomp your foot, shake your head, and ask for more.
