Amy & The Engine, “Love Me”
Spitting in the eye of that age-old, yawn-inducing adage about Boston being a rock and roll town, Amy & the Engine have crafted pitch-perfect modern pop that sounds like little else either here in town — or on Top 40 radio. This year’s TandeMania EP should help Amy Allen’s crew break out nationally in 2016, but in the meantime, the record is filled with hook-mad gems like “Love Me,” a Cardigans-esque indie-pop track that it too good to soundtrack a RomCom — it actually deserves to have its own film written for it.
