AMK (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AMK, or Adam Met Karl, was a Hong Kong based independent band from 1989-1996. Along with Anodize and ...Huh!?, they were considered among the most successful independent bands of the 1990's.[citation needed] Adam and Karl in the band's name represent Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Their songs featured upbeat melodies and fast rhythms, with lyrics inspired from political issues and ordinary city life in Hong Kong often presented in a humorous and satirical way.
In 2006, a compilation album, In the name of AMK, was released by Harbour Records as a tribute to the band. Their songs were performed by various independent acts such as False Alarm, Fruitpunch and 22 Cats.
One of their most notable achievements was the song "One Person, Two Roles" which was recorded by Faye Wong in 1995 on an ep with the same title.
