The CRASHING DREAMS have recently come forward with their second studio album 'Get Somewhere Without Words' – the title, of course, giving away, where the band is heading for. Deliberately, there’s no singing. The music is mainly generated by guitar, bass and drums. It’s only now and again, that an organ or a cello creep into the gripping pieces.
It’s guitar music. It’s rough and straight forward, sounding very much like the old independent school, with the occasional punk elements added. Although singing has been abandoned in general, the melody line always comes first – but without rivalling the intensity and energy of the songs.
The CRASHING DREAMS are the German-Italian twins Flavio and Fabrizio Steinbach playing drums and guitar, as well as Christiane 'Tepe' Baur on bass guitar. On their recordings they are supported by several guest musicians, for example their good friend Chris Cacavas, who played piano and organ in many songs.
Following their first studio album 'Minimum To Exist' (2003 Supermodern Music), that included guest appearances from members of Calexico, the CRASHING DREAMS are now taking the next consequent step in the right direction. 'Get Somewhere Without Words' (2006 Yeah Records) is a phantastic instrumental indierock album. Delivering it, the CRASHING DREAMS are one of only very few bands in this genre. The album convinces with a dynamic sound that jumps right out of the speakers when you listen to the record on your stereo. It was produced by Niko Lazarakopoulos and the twins.
For the past couple of years Flavio and Fabrizio have been involved in various bands and projects. They played with Barbara Manning And The Go-Luckys! (touring the States and Europe; releasing several recordings between 1999 and 2006), The Cakekitchen (playing in the live line-up in 2003 and 2004), Woog Riots (helping out in various line-up variations since 2005) and along with many other bands and projects in the past the twins are also currently playing in bands of the Leipzig music scene. Please don't forget to check out Palestar and A Heart Is An Airport.
The CRASHING DREAMS were born in 2002, out of the desire to start something new, something not yet thoroughly explored. After touring in Germany a couple of times they also want to conquer the rest of the world with their powerful and dreamy instrumental music. Live on stage they deliver their very own version of energetic indie-pop-noise-rock to the audience! For good instrumental music full of energy and moving ideas don't miss them when they come to your town.
