Bastard Amber is a fierce fireball of kinetic, frenetic energy, begun as a side project for frontwoman Hannah Macklin (MKO Sun) as an outlet for her newly-discovered bass playing. Assembling a cast of electrifiying musicians in Yusuke Akai (guitar), Lachlan Mitchell/Laneous (guitar, vocals) and Myka Wallace (drums), Bastard Amber's sound references elements of punk, pop, grunge and soul played through a rock band filter.
