Amateur Hour

It’s exactly what it sounds like.

Amateur Hour is a four-piece band hailing from the underground scene in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Starting as a two-piece with Zach Harder (Guitar & Vocals) and Ben Lohrding (Drums), before later adding Karl Schuetzle (Bass) and Nick Finnegan (Guitar), the group began performing to sweaty basements and packed parties around the Twin Cities.

Their music often explores themes of introspection, relationships, and the trials and tribulations of youth, all set against a backdrop of catchy melodies and energetic rhythms. Amateur Hour blends elements of Midwest Emo and Punk, creating a unique and compelling sound that resonates with fans of both genres.
