NEW! Check Out Hinkel's Latest Bulletins! [Click Here]





HINKEL is the solo project of Volker Hinkel, co-author/guitarist/producer of Fools Garden.
Founded for the first time in 1993 for the production of the album "In The Wake Of Thunder" (1994), this project had a brand new start in 2002 when Dirk Blümlein (bass) and Claus Müller (drums) joined the line-up.
The 3-piece band worked on a new album, "Not A Life-Saving Device", which was released in August 2005.
In 2006 Hinkel comes to MySpace and starts a fruitful web marketing campaign.
Thanks to this, the song "House Of Love", taken from "Not A Life-Saving Device", has been chosen to be included in the soundtrack of the upcoming US movie "The Other Side Of The Tracks", directed by A.D. Calvo and with the TV series 'Roswell' star Brendan Fehr in the leading role.
While "Shine" and "Run" from the same album are included in the digital split "The Big Eye", realized together with The Mirrors, with cover art by Andy from Bluvertigo, which was released in Italy under the indie label Echophonic in March 2008 and promoted on Italian radios during autumn 2008.
The band finally had its first gig ever in Milan on February 20th 2009, at the historical venue "Scimmie".
Hinkel just released the new EP "Heaven And Hell", including a cover of the homonymous song by John Entwistle, a favoulos cover of "Baba O'Riley", an exclusive live version of "Run", plus a brand new Hinkel track titled "Speed".



Volker Hinkel was born on June 21st 1965 in Calw.

He learned to play the piano and the guitar and began his musical career in 1979 with his first band.

After several projects he formed the band "Fools Garden" together with Peter Freudenthaler in 1990 ("Lemon Tree").

During 1993 he realized his solo project "Hinkel".

In addition to his job as musician, he works as producer as well and composes music for movies and commercials.

Total time: 59:37

Not just a simple album but an one hour lasting emotional journey, which involves and shows you the various facets of a less than ordinary artist and his music. From pop to rock, through modern disco music ("Run" and "The Beauty Of It"), sweet ballads ("You Can't Fall Down"), awesome instrumental tracks ("Reprise" and "Save Your Life") and songs with a hit potential ("Shine"). All accompanied by captivating lyrics, which describe strong feelings and characters, in an atmosphere between dream and hard reality.

This album was recorded at Hinkelstone-Studio near the wonderful Black Forest in Germany. It rather took a long time from the first session to the final release!

ty you are missed
i reminisced
the day
i thought id see you play
a tab for my devotion
your kind emotion
glad to hear from you,
in my days so blue
you always bring me a smile
a simple style
with your words on wall
soon leaves will fall
come and gone another season,
youve come so far it stands to reason
keep it up so i may hear another song
a thong
on your ceiling fan.
not in content but i had no plan,
gigglin with rhymes in your eye,
till another day.. gnight good bye..
hehe

Hello Volker!
I hope all is well with you!!

For this day I pray......
that you will be able to give:

To your enemy, forgiveness
To an opponent, tolerance
To a friend, your heart
To a customer, service
To all, charity
To every child, a good example
To yourself, respect.
