Amusement Parks on Fire

The Profile

Amusement Parks on Fire is a British shoegaze/alternative rock project formed in Nottingham in 2004 by Michael Feerick. The self-titled debut arrived in 2005, followed by Out of the Angeles (2006) and Road Eyes (2010). Later releases include the EP All The New Ends and the album An Archaea.

British shoegaze/alt-rock band from Nottingham, active since 2004 and led by Michael Feerick. Known for dense guitar layers and quiet–loud dynamics; opened for dEUS per the DeBaser review.

One review takes a dim view of the 2005 self‑titled debut: lots of distortion, quiet–storm dynamics, and vocals deemed monotone. Live shows opening for dEUS didn’t help. A few tracks (Venus In A Cancer, Eighty Eight, Wiper) are called the liveliest moments, but the verdict stays bleak: enjoyable only in small doses.
