Daniel and Thiemo started the band. They met while they were both searching for a new band in Stuttgart Germany. Kevin, Pascal and Bastian joined later independently. They were all found by online announcements.
The music industry was really about to change to these online platforms we know today. Musically we think that it didn't change much. At least locally.
We all started our instruments for different reasons and in different genres. But what we all wanted and what we are doing now is to gather inspiration and create our own songs.
The brand of each instrument and piece of equipment is a personal choice (and sometimes also a money choiceand everyone has his own favorites. But in the last year we grew and totally love our digital equipment. It is handy for writing songs and also allows us to program pretty crazy stuff for our live shows. We don't need all these foot switches and effect boards anymore because everything is set up with the click track. This gives us more space on stage and it's easy to travel with. Everything but the acoustic drum set is built inside just one rack system.
It's hard for us to name some specific bands. On the one hand, we as are band are coming from different genres, so we think everybody's past and background is playing a role. On the other hand it's more like we want to create and transfer a feeling than just sound like bands we know.
We wanted to try this whole recording thing and also we wanted to share our first set of songs with you guys. The goal was mainly to become a part of the music community in our hometown and to have a press kit so we can have more live gigs.
There is no "the one favorite song" for us and the songs are very different. This actually mirrors the message of our album Faces. It's about the different faces and emotions one person can have.
For us it is important to live up to our growing expectations. With every production we are trying to get the best possible result within our current range. We think we need a decent sound so we have a chance to get noticed next to all these great productions on the market. Otherwise you will not be notices regardless how well written the songs might be.
For us, writing and recording new material gives us joy even though it takes a lot of time. We can't wait for the next recording, so you can say yes, it was a "natural feeling" to go right back to "work".
We had some highs and also some lows but we were never blocked or out of ideas. The hardest time was the actual recording of our instruments and vocals. We did that at home on our own and we needed a lot of time and energy.
Bastian just showed us his first idea with German lyrics and we instantly liked it. We decided that this song will stay as it is.
Thank you very much. We are happy that you like the album. Every song is fun to play live and has its special moments. So again, we cannot define specific songs as favorites.
Not at all. Each video had a relative short shooting time. We didn't take a big part in the post production.
Working with both was really fun and also very professional. They always knew what they did and had everything under control. From Michael, we learned a lot for our future. With Max, we found a young and very talented artist who brought his own vision and ideas into the song. We liked his shots from the very first second.
We would really love to play more festivals and also to have a tour as a support band. We are working on it. Yes, There are a lot of bands we would love to meet and support
At the moment we are constantly writing new material and plans have already been made. We don't know what will happen exactly, but you will definitely hear and see something new quite soon.
