H-BLOCKX

H-BLOCKX have been successful for almost 15 years now and their live shows are definitely worth to be seen from the fans. Henning’s voice you can’t fail and the guitar riffs and drum parts are just phenomenal. Now, they are back on tour and don’t miss their concert 9th November in the Factory of Magdeburg! http://www.hblx.de/ / http://www.contrapromotion.com/

H-BLOCKX is a German crossover band founded in the early 90s. In 1993, the band released their first single, ‘Rising High’. The track was extensively played in clubs and sold over 10,000 copies without a video or any advertising whatsoever. The band rose to fame with their successful first album, ‘Time To Move’, released in 1994, produced by Ralph Quick and Chris Wagner. Part of this success was due to MTV and their repeated airplay of the videos for the ‘Rising High’ and ‘Move’ singles. They even earned a nomination for ‘Best Breakthrough Artist’ at the following MTV music awards (but lost to Dog Eat Dog). With the help of the singles ‘Rising High’, ‘Move’, and ‘Little Girl’ their debut spent 62 weeks in the German album chart, selling over 750,000 copies worldwide, and earning the band their first gold album. The first major tour followed. They are still active to this day and are regularly releasing new albums, though none of them have caught the public or MTV's eye like ‘Time To Move’ did. However, they had a minor hit in 2002 with a cover of Snap!'s ‘The Power’.
