- Amplifico are a Scottish band comprising Donna Maciocia, Ross Kilgour and Dave Brunton. The name Amplifico was chosen from a Latin dictionary (meaning to increase or enlarge). Amplifico's roots are from an early teens friendship at Balwearie High School, Kirkcaldy. Donna Maciocia started song writing and performing in 2004 following her completion of an art degree at the University of Dundee. In addition to playing across the UK & Ireland with Amplifico, she provided backing vocals for KT Tunstall on her live Acoustic Extravaganza album, sang with Tunstall on her tour in 2006, appeared in Tunstall's Another Place to Fall video, and in 2007 joined Aberfeldy onstage as backing vocal and keyboard musician. Amplifico won the 'Best Scottish Band' title in a national UK competition for unsigned bands, playing Glasgow Carling Academy and London Astoria within a year of forming. During this period, the band recorded and self-produced their first material (Hometakes 1 & Hometakes 2) and gained both live and internet based followings. Unsigned and unmanaged, they utilised their fan base and internet following to fund their first full studio based work. This brought the group to the attention of the Scottish media with an article about their efforts to fund their first album being seen in 2006 on BBC Scotland main news programme ‘Reporting Scotland’. The album was largely funded through individual donations and via a live web-streamed "webathon" fundraiser gig. Via their own ‘record label MDM Creations, Amplifico published See Heart, See Muscle on March 3rd 2008. Immediately upon release BBC RADIO 1's Vic Galloway awarded Amplifico the 'Album of The Month' status on his show.
- Amplifico es una banda escocesa formada por Donna Maciocia, Ross Kilgour y Dave Brunton. El nombre fue sacado de un diccionario de latín, y significa "ampliar o incrementar". El origen de Amplifico se remonta a la época de adolescentes de los tres miembros, donde eran amigos e iban al mismo instituto, el Balwearie High School, en Kirkcaldy. Donna Maciocia, empezó a componer canciones y a tocar en 2004, después de graduarse en Arte en la Universidad de Dundee. Aparte de tocar por todo el Reino Unido e Irlanda con Amplifico, ella hizo los coros en el álbum de KT Tunstall, Acoustic Extravaganza, cantó con ella en el tour en 2006 y apareció en el videoclip de "Another place to fall". En 2007, cantó con Aberfeldy en el escenario como corista y teclados. Con sólo un año de vida, Amplifico ganó el premio a "La mejor banda escocesa" en una competición nacional del Reino Unido para bandas que no firmaron con ninguna discográfica tocando en el Glasgow Carling Academy y el London Astoria. Durante este periodo, la banda grabó y produjo su primer demo (Hometakes 1 & Hometakes 2) y consiguió que tanto en internet como en directo les siguieran. Sin manager ni contrato discográfico, ellos usaron su fan base y seguidores de internet para pagar su primer álbum de estudio. Esto llamó la atención de los medios escoceses con un reportaje acerca de sus esfuerzos para pagar el álbum, que se pudo ver en 2006 en un programa de BBC Scotlang llamado "reporting Scotland". El álbum fue pagado a través de donaciones individuales y via un concierto con maratón online. Via su propio sello, MDM Creations, Amplifico publicó "See Heart, See Muscle" el 3 de marzo de 2008. Inmediatamente después de su lanzamiento, Vic Galloway, locutor de BBC Radio 1, lo consideró como "album del mes" en su programa
