Marshall have revealed a new scheme put in place to help protect the future of live music and support venues across the world during difficult times.
The project is called ‘Amplify’, and this is how it works. For every purchase made on marshall.com by members who have signed up – so that’s amps, speakers, drums, headphones and everything inbetween – they are committed to putting forward 1% to help local music communities. And they are starting with independent venues, the musical hub of many towns and cities, that are in danger of closure due to rising costs.
Amplify is free to join for absolutely anyone and everyone, and will also offer up benefits such as early access,
free shipping, and priority support. So you can get some gear and help keep the venues in your hometown functioning. It’s good for you, for the bands you love and the bands that are about to break through.
Marshall CEO Jeremy de Maillard, had this to say about the initiative, stating, “For over 60 years, Marshall amplified live music, from local independent venues to the world’s biggest stages. Small venues are where the next generation of musicians turn first-time listeners into lifelong fans. Through Amplify, Marshall is building a long-term model to support the future of live music.”
Whilst CMO Nick Street had this to add, saying, “Independent venues aren’t just part of music history – they’re where the future is written. Amplify is how we connect our community more closely to that future. As Marshall grows, grassroots music will grow with us.”
The scheme launches on March 03, and you can find everything that you need to know right here.

Months after his departure from All That Remains this past July, guitarist Jason Richardson has opened up about why he decided to leave the band after seven years. And though it sounds like things remain amicable between the guitarist and his former bandmates, he said it was some business issues that cropped up that pushed him to leave.
During an interview with Guitar World (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), Richardson said he remained quiet about everything out of respect for the band and some loose ends that he felt fans noticed when he quit All That Remains.
“I don’t wanna get into the weeds of it publicly, but I’m still cool with all of the guys in the band. It was mostly just a business thing. And things just were not executed like they were promised to be, from management and the people tasked with putting the [All That Remains] record [Antifragile (2025)] out.
“I’m glad the record exists, but the fact that it’s already been out almost a year and there hasn’t been one show. So it’s, like, there’s just a lot of things on the business side in the back end that I was not happy with at all. It has nothing to do with anyone’s personality or anyone in the band at all. It just wasn’t, in my opinion — like, I could be doing other things than trying to make that work when it so clearly was not going to — from my perspective, at least”
Though he seemingly had issues with the business side of things and the band’s management, Richardson reiterated that he very much enjoys the company of his former bandmates and is proud of what they were able to accomplish with the band’s most recent record Antifragile.
“I still love the guys. I love the record. I loved working with [producer] Josh Wilbur, the guy who did the album. He’s phenomenal. And that’s probably one of the best things about that record, for me at least, is now I have a great relationship with him, and we’re gonna keep working together. But I am happy all those songs are real, so there’s that at least.”
Though all this is what he’s saying now, it’s important to note that Richardson posted some shady shit on his Twitter just prior to his exit, stating that he’d “not ever felt so disrespected, taken advantage of, for granted or undermined like this in my entire career.” He ended the statement by saying “Unbelievable. Never again.” That doesn’t exactly sound amicable.
Just a couple weeks later and Richardson was out of the band. In the announcement, both sides said the split was amicable, with both proud of the new record and what they’d done in the seven years together.
