‘Augen auf und durch’ so the title of the debut by Berlin-based trio LENZ, coming to us in spring, so open your eyes and ears, as the album also offers lyrics between the two poles of thoughtfulness and irony. The music: Always looking for the perfect pop song with lots of guitar plucks and keys, mingled with wonderful melodies and thought-provoking German-tongued lyrics. Being a guitar band with a keyboard back in the early days, a signature band sound developed with the piano as a core element, which even sounds huge, when performed live.- Details

30th January (Single) and 13th February (Album) will be the release dates of new BOA material you should mark in your calendar. Most of you already know about the new Voodooclub studio member, the ingenious drummer Jaki Liebezeit. The single ‘Lord Have Mercy With The 1-Eyed’ from new album ‘Diamonds Fall’ includes 4 additional bonus tracks, excelling the usual contents of a single by far, which makes it rather an EP. The main track is a beautiful, bitter-sweet BOA composition with wonderful, crazy-romantic lyrics. ‘It’s a hymn, it’s a classic!’ More info is available at Boa’s current Myspace blog ‘New Years Note’, where he describes the album’s sound as being "... driven, dreamy, wide-open... with cinematic melodies".- Details

Silbermond
After nearly two years of stage absence, the four-piece announces their most-loved discipline: SILBERMOND finally hit the road again and announce 16 concerts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With their new third album ‘Nichts passiert’, due in spring 2009, one of the most popular and best German live acts is going to rock the halls in May. “Nichts passiert, likely is the most intense album we did up to now. So much heart’s blood and the search for new ways, discovering ourselves and our music slipped in. That took time, but was worth every single heartbeat. We can’t wait to go on stage with it again and look forward to our next tour already (Silbermond)”
