Ken Carter

About Ken Carter

"Ken Carter" is the second single released by Australian alternative rock band, Ammonia, from their debut album Mint 400. The single was released by Sony Music Australia's imprint label, Murmur in late February 1996. The single reached No. 50 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles Chart. The song was named after Ken Carter, a Canadian stuntman who attempted to jump over the Saint Lawrence River in the late 1970s. Johnstone describes the song as being about feeling trapped in a relationship. It's a passionate song, really, definitely darker and a bit more intelligent than "Drugs". According to Allmusic's reviewer, Nitsuh Abebe, '"Ken Carter" sounds like a more rocked-out version of the Posies.' The South Florida Sun-Sentinel describes the beginning of "Ken Carter" as being nothing but annoying whining, although the addition of a great riff in the chorus gives it the high intensity that it needs. Other reviewers describe the song as starting out with a very watery sounding intro followed by a loud distorted chorus. more »

Wait into my room.
Changin', have I lost you?
Feels like I've been, Feels like I've been used.

Feels like I can, Feels like I can flee

I've been waiting so long.
I've been waiting so long.

I've been waiting so long.
I've been waiting so long.
I've been waiting so long.
I've been waiting so long.

Ammonia

An alternative rock band from Australia, Ammonia made a name for themselves 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 Alan Balmont (ex Dear Octopus, Cherrytones) and bass player Phil Natt. This line up performed under the name Fuzzswirl, and following departure of Natt, continued to perform with a variety of bass players around their hometown of Perth. It wasn't until 1993 when bassist Simon Hensworth joined the group that the name was changed to Ammonia.
