Band AxMxP delivers its sincerity about music through its first comeback since its debut.

On the afternoon of the 21st, AMP (Ha Yoo-jun, Kim Shin, Crew, and Joo-hwan) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their first mini-album "Amplify My Way" at Yes24 Wonder Rock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

AMP, which debuted in September last year, made its first comeback in four months. Ha Yoo-jun said, "It's my first comeback since my debut. I'm excited and nervous as it's my first comeback. I couldn't wait to see the fans," he said.

Joo-hwan said, "I'm grateful that there are so many firsts, and it's nice to be able to make a comeback quickly," and Crew said, "I wanted to show you how I've grown over the past four months. "I'm excited to see you with a new song faster than I thought, and I'm looking forward to your activities in the future," he said.

Kim Shin also said, "It hasn't been long since the first album was over, but I'm happy and excited to be able to come out with the next album."

"Emplify My Way" tells the story of youth who find the shape of their dreams at their own pace. He reveals his confidence to move forward as he is.

In particular, this album contains a double title song, showing conflicting charms. The first title song "PASS" features a sharp electric guitar riff and a repeated synth loop. Straight lyrics and explosive sounds of energy are expected to reveal AxMxP's strong presence to constantly cross walls and overcome limits.

The second title song, "Thereafter," is a modern rock genre song that starts with an emotional piano and bursts out like a band sound in the chorus. It deeply depicts the desperation of running to regain love and the tremor of believing in fate that will continue again.

Joo-hwan said, "If 'pass' is our color, 'and a few days later' will easily show our color." It's a mild taste of easy listening," he explained.

Crew also revealed the behind-the-scenes story, "When I first heard 'pass', I was excited to do a high five with Yu-jun."

In addition, a total of seven songs are included, including "Too Much," "Punch-Drunk," "I Melody You," "Bittersweet" and "Be Yours."

In particular, the members' participation in this album stands out. Ha Yoo-jun participated in writing the entire song, and Kim Shin performed his own song "Your Normal".

Kim Shin said, "I've been writing songs little by little before, but I sent about five songs to the company. It was the song that I thought would be the worst, but it was included. It was a song with more personal colors than AMP, but they liked it," he said.

Ha Yoo-jun said, "I'm grateful that the song will be included. I keep trying to find AMP's own color. I've been thinking about how to get the AMP color, so I hope you know a lot. I want to continue to show and prove it," he stressed.

Last year, he emerged as a 'emerging performance powerhouse' by playing an active role in various festival performances. In the future, Crew said, "My dream is to reach global festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza. "I wish I could be located a little further back than the festival open lineup," he said.

Joo-hwan also said, "I want to win first place on a music program. I was once nominated for first place, and I tasted it then. I hope to surpass the candidate and win first place," he said. Ha Yoo-jun said, "If you listen to our album and just say, 'You're cool,' you'll feel like you've accomplished everything."

Meanwhile, AMP's first mini-album "Mplify My Way" will be released at 6 p.m. on the 21st.
