It's been an amazing year for The Amazons.

The rock quartet from Reading have released their debut EP, Don't You Wanna?, received airplay from radio stations across the UK and been endorsed by new music champion, Zane Lowe.

The group are now preparing to bring their tour to Glasgow with a show at King Tut's on February 6 and frontman Matt Goff can't wait.

He said: "Scotland is always somewhere we look forward to playing.

"Scots seem to be super passionate about music, guitar bands especially. It can be a little more reserved the further south you go, but Scottish crowds never seem to have that problem.

"I'd like to think we put on a show. There will be no staring at shoes but we’re not super cheesy either. It’s a rock and roll show, it’s sweaty, its unpredictable but its got loads of heart."

It's not the first time that the band have been in Scotland, however, with Matt confirming that they made some unusual friends during a previous trip to Dunfermline.

He said: "We played PJ Molloys in Dunfermline and we thought that it had loads of character. Dunfermline has an amazing park which is overrun by squirrels. You can literally feed them, they’re so chill with humans."

The group's EP takes inspiration from their life experiences, seamlessly weaving them with grinding guitar and pounding bass lines.

However, Matt says the decision to write about his personal experiences for the record was not a conscious one.

He said: "Certain times and events in my life I think moved me. However, it’s not like something happens and I write about it straight away. I usually feel like I’m writing anything down that pops into my head. It’s only after reading it back that I can see the relation to something I’ve felt.

"The EP is effectively a full stop on 2015. It wasn’t recorded all in one session, it was more a piecing together of what we had into something cohesive. I think you can hear the progression in the music on it."

The band are now focusing their attentions on their debut album, which has been in the works for five years.

Although there's no set date for the record's release, Matt is confident that 2016 will be the year it sees the light of day.

He said: "I guess in a way we've always been working on our debut album. It'll consist of a selected pick of the last four or five years that I've been writing.

"Nothing’s been officially recorded yet, though there are some dates pencilled in this year for that to happen.

"We like to keep ambitions high and expectations low. All we can do is make the most honest and exciting album we can and then see what the Gods decide."

However, despite their hard work and constant gigging, Matt says that receiving the seal of approval from music giants like Zane Lowe has definitely helped get them noticed on the wider music scene.

He said: "In a way I think it validates the band for people a little more if we’re associated with someone as respected as Zane Lowe. We’re just happy for our music to connect with anyone, doesn’t matter who it is."

As if releasing their debut EP and touring was not enough, the band also managed to fulfil a life-long dream last year by playing a home-coming show at the Reading and Leeds Festival.

Matt said: "It was awesome. The response from the crowd at Reading was something we really didn’t expect. They were singing our songs before we came on stage. We were actually so bummed out at the end of the day, we just wanted to do it all over again."

The group are now focusing on the future and can't wait to see where it will take them and their sound.

Matt said: "We try not to overthink that kind of stuff, it feels like whatever comes out will come out. Putting ourselves under pressure about what we should or shouldn’t be sounding like totally kills creativity for us. If anything, we’d like to be able to experiment with the sound but keep the song’s as strong as possible."

The Amazons will play King Tut's on February 6.
