Christian Lo Russo: Lead Singer of Amy Meredith

2008 Rock The Schools band Amy Meredith recently signed with Sony Music and will be releasing an album later this year! Rock the Schools caught up with lead singer Christian to see how they have been doing since leaving the tour and how we helped!

What’s news with the band since leaving the 2008 tour?

Since finishing the tour it has been an unbelievable rollercoaster, excuse the cliche, but that is exactly what it has been. After we finished the tour we basically had re group, focus and completely re think some things. the result was brilliant. We concentrated our time on writing great songs because at the end of the day that is what is about, having great songs. We took some time off touring and started writing every single day until we had a selection of songs that we thought were above and beyond what we were expecting, or what anyone who knew the band could have expected.

Can you give us a brief background of how you got together?

Joel and myself went to high school together and were both playing in different bands. We always said we should start a band together. Wade was already playing with Joel in a band together and I met Wade in a shoe store and he asked me to audition for their band, but they turned me down! Ha ha ha, it wasn’t until their band split up that they decided to come crawling back! We went out one night and realised Cam could sing, play guitar, and he looked like Matt Damon so we asked him to join. Kosta is the new guy and we stole him haha!

How was your time on Rock the Schools and would you do it again?
Rock The Schools was amazing, I think we would definitely do it again; Hundreds of screaming kids and free tuck shop food, who doesn’t want that?However the early starts were not for me.

What are your plans for 2010 and where can we come and see you?

I think 2010 is going to be a great, and big year for Amy. We have a record coming out and we are doing a national tour with Cobra Starship and Owl City in March. The rest of the year is all undecided so I guess we’ll wait and see. I think we will be heading overseas sooner rather then later and taking on the world.

Our first single ‘Pornstar’ is on the radio at the moment so keep and ear out.

Any shout outs?

Thanks Mum…
