Alternative guitar rock from Germany
As can be easily guessed, the members of the band are from Berlin. They call their music "Protopop". What "protopop" sounds like is best experienced by listening to it. Above all, one thing is sure: The German lyrics captivate feelings: melancholy, longing, despair and anger.
In 2016, the band released their debut album "Und aus den Wolken tropft die Zeit". Right after, they went on tour to Spain and Portugal.
