The Amblers release their debut EP, The Dustling man
JOBURG - Getting to know blues-rock duo, The Amblers.
The Amblers are a folksy, blues-rock duo emerging through the vibrant and diverse music industry in South Africa. Residing in the musically driven city of Johannesburg, the two have a broad range of local and international musical influences from Southern Gypsy Queen and The Black Cat Bones, to The Rolling Stones and Jack White. Their approach to music is raw but not unpolished, lending an authentic energy to huge drums and dirty, vintage guitar tones.

Acclaimed drummer Jason Hinch provides an accomplished and powerful framework for Justin Swart to deliver his raconteur ideas of music and lyrics to the listener.
The duo has recently released their first body of work, a collection of hard-hitting songs titled The Dustling Man and are currently in the studio working on a new album.
“The first EP has been an exciting journey and we are glad that its out there and available for people to enjoy,” said Swart. “That’s what music is about, isn’t it? Having something to say and doing your best to say it. The Dustling Man has been well received by industry people and the public alike. It’s always tough breaking a new act in, so we are so grateful for the reception The Dustling Man has received thus far.”
The two said all the songs on the album were single takes of them having a blast, telling their stories. They wanted to capture complete passages in time and not to chop every moment they captured up in the pursuit of perfection.
The EP is available to stream and purchase on Deezer and iTunes
