Sounds Like
German Indie magazine Uncle Sally..s says:
"...deren Stil von immenser Sehnsucht zeugt. Grosse Gesten sind angesagt, wofür waiting for steve durch das Wasser und nordwestlich des Ärmelkanals in die Lehre gegangen sind. Editors-Pomp, Keane-Schmelz und Mogwai-Atmosphäre vermengen sich zu Schwebetränen-Rock, der süsslich, jedoch nie wirklich klebrig ist. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt an eingestreuten Punk-Elementen, die für Schwung sorgen.
Fazit: Ein musikalisches Stück Pathos der angenehmeren Sorte" (7 von 10 Punkten)
These five guys from Giessen/Muenster of course are not the first ones asking what suceeds Emo...But seldomly the results sound as mature as on their brandnew EP "Lieutenant Dan".
Northern european pathetic experimental soundscapes littered by some upbeat straight-forward songs. Imagine the aggressive raw early Jimmy eat world meeting the melancholic laid-back Editors, add some splashes of Sigur Ros..s or Elliott..s artfulness and you get a picture of the unique sound this band creates.
This unique mixture adds up to a sound that almost anybody can enjoy.
Starting out in 2000 as a three-piece the first full-length "on a sunday" was published soon.
When tired happy homecoming arrived on the scene 2004, the band had shifted their focus on more complex and varied songs, musical and lyrics-wise, yet still with honesty and weakness attached to the lyrics.
2008 arrived the much awaited EP "Lieutenant Dan", where more upbeat disco-like-rhythms are incorporated.
This band is set for bringing passionate music to the streets and clubs, leaving audiences overwhelmed and sweating...
Having been on the road frequently the last two years the band has played with Seeed, Lampshade (DK), Fireflight (USA), triplet (Por), the violet burning (USA), Kevin Devine (USA), this beautiful mess (NL), Satellite 7 (NL), Jetsetready (NL), AIM (I), The flying windmill, Dorfdisco, last tuesday (USA), Munich (DK), blindside (Swe), deep insight (fin)....
2005 saw appearances at Freakstock..s mainstage and Christmas Rock night as well as in the livingroom-like atmosphere of Sofa Soundz at Muenster rocking like shit...
When "tired happy homecoming" came out it was reviewed in theGerman Indie music mag Intro and moved to the 2nd best sold CD in the ASAPH (label distribution) charts, 1500 so far. In january 07 a concert hosted by the "Batschkapp" in Frankfurt was broadcasted on German TV stations HR and WDR in the format "newcomer TV".
In June 07 followed a tour with the violet burning (USA), concluding at Freakfest in the Czech rep. 2007 saw participation at Flevo Festival in Holland and Christmas Rock night, this time on mainstage...at Freakstock 08 the band was headlining the mainstage. Keep on rocking in the free world...

Hi, the reverbnation tools are cool, by hitting play you hear the songs right away and with share you can place them on any kind of blog or platform, I like that, it is a big support for musicians, if you are with facebook then let's become friends there, it is much easier to communicate, have a great day.
