Brotherly love can make or break a band…unless y’all are actually brothers, than in that case you are stuck together for life. Amplified Heat fits into the latter category. Made up of a trio of brothers, Jim, Gian and Chris Ortiz, Amplified Heat know how to play that hard and gritty rock and roll. A throwback to the heavy psychedelic rock of Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the brothers Ortiz have studied the best but put their Texas attitude front and center.
