Ammonia (band)
Ammonia was an alternative rock band from Australia which made a name for itself in the 1990s, producing a mixture of grunge and guitar pop (a sound they described as "pop-metal"). The group began in 1992, initially comprising guitarist Dave Johnstone (ex-Hideous Goldsteins), drummer Allan Balmont (ex-Dear Octopus, Cherrytones) and bass guitar player Phil Natt. This line-up performed under the name Fuzzswirl and, following the departure of Natt, they continued to perform with a variety of bass guitar players around their hometown of Perth, Western Australia, Perth. In 1993, when the bass guitarist Simon Hensworth joined the group, the name was changed to Ammonia. The band was considering the name "Glorious Noise Earthquake", but selected Ammonia for its simplicity after Hensworth stumbled across the word in a science textbook. History Early success The band's early success was due mostly to their self-financed recordings and word of mouth. The trio released a self-titled casse ...

Eleventh Avenue (album)
''Eleventh Avenue'' is Ammonia's second and final studio album. It was released in Australia in May 1998. It was a very different album to their previous effort, ''Mint 400'', moving away from grunge-inspired guitar rock to include harmonies, samples and psychedelic keyboards. The album was recorded and produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), a choice made by the band in part due to the lack of control the band had over the first album. Two songs (" You're Not the Only One Who Feels This Way, You're Not The Only One Who Feels This Way" and "Monochrome") received extensive airplay on Triple J; however, the album failed to chart as well as its predecessor, only reaching #20 on the National Album charts. ''Eleventh Avenue'' turned out to be the band's last album. It went out of print in March 2002. The image on the front cover is a photograph of pedestrians at George Street in Sydney, NSW. It was taken by Jack Hickson in 1968. Track listing All lyrics written by A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

You're Not The Only One Who Feels This Way
"You're Not the Only One Who Feels This Way" is Ammonia's second single from their second album '' Eleventh Avenue''. Released ahead of the album, this song was the second big song for the band and is generally regarded as their second biggest song after "Drugs". Originally written on the last day of recording after a phone call from John O'Donnell from Murmur to Dave Johnstone. O'Donnell advised him that there were no 'hits' on the album. "We had a day's worth of recording left and I thought, you bastard, I actually had a massive anxiety attack. The next morning I woke up early and that song literally fell out of me. The other guys were asleep and the song was written before 9 am. We recorded it and I said, 'There you go John, there's your f***ing single.' Looking back it was a classic A&R stunt from John but I love him for that." Reception The song marks the second time Ammonia charted in Triple J's Hottest 100, coming in at No. 43 in 1997.
