Austria may be known as the classical music capital of the world, but make no mistake, Cornerstone is here to rock. Patricia Hillinger (Vocals, Guitar), Michael Wachelhofer (Bass, Keyboards, Vocals), Steve Wachelhofer (Guitar, Vocals) and Wolfgang Baumeister(Drums, Percussion) signed a record deal with US-label ATOM Records and have released their debut "Head Over Heels" in the same year. Following the release, the band was introduced to more than one hundred magazines and radio stations worldwide. Beautiful melodies, big guitars, a melodic bass and sad-aggressive lyrics about the small and big topics of this world quickly inspired the public, particularly in the U.S.A. and the United Kingdom.
Some of the songs from the new CD are included in the motion picture soundtrack for the film "Little Alien," which will be shown in all Austrian cinemas and on television in fall of 2009. The band's focus is nevertheless on the Anglo-American market. Cornerstone has won the "Next Big Thing Contest," sponsored by Alternative Addiction, in March 2008 and had a No 1 hit on Chungardio Statesides. In the United Kingdom the band had a very successful tour in the fall of 2008, followed by reviews and interviews in the most important rock'zines (Powerplay, Fireworks, Classic Rock, etc.) and appearances on UK-Radio (e.g. in the Steve Price show/Radio ARFM). Cornerstone did another tour through the UK in spring 2009 (including the Z Rock Festival in Dudley, together with Ted Poley and John Waite/Ex-Bad English, Ex-Babys), and a longer series of concerts stateside is in the works for summer 2009. For 2010 a new album and another tour through United Kingdom and United States are already in planning process.
