Hull, UK born pop-punk artist Alyx Lynn has released the highly infectious single, Oh Amy. The track is about coming to terms with social rejection and letting go of the destructive feelings around such situations. Released on Hull’s Warren Records and recorded at their inhouse studios with local producer Adam Pattrick, this perfect slice of pop-punk magic with its 90s style guitars tells Alyx’s personal story about losing a highly valued friendship when other people get involved and change the dynamic, a sort of sarcastic tongue in cheek ‘love letter’ that’s a parting gift to them all!
“this song means a lot to me as it represents my thoughts and feelings during a very emotional and vulnerable time in my life. Working through the rejection I felt when a close friend moved onto a different scene, I eventually learnt to find acceptance of the situation and was then able to let go and not be afraid of losing someone, which is something I’ve often struggled with. So, for me to be able to move on and fearlessly put all these thoughts and emotions out there in a song is very special to me” (Alyx Lynn)

Growing up amidst the ‘dingy’ streets of Hull (as Alyx puts it) she’s been heavily inspired by the old skate punk scenes of the early 2000’s and late 90’s with bands like Blink-182, Bad Religion, Guttermouth and The Offspring. Then as we all came out of lockdown Alyx decided to take a step towards her dream and after finally getting her confidence up, recorded and released her debut single, Dear Everyone I Hate You, with the help of Warren Records.
