What kinda music is this?
Isn't this the question that every musician loves? What kind of music do you do, compare yourself to other bands? And of course same like every other musician the answer would be: Well, it's hard to describe, we have so many influences and we incorporate so many styles ... it's like the Foo Fighters and at the same time so totally not Foo Fighters.
But opposite to all others bands, who basically just play pop or rock or funk or hiphop, we truly are unique.
Ok, just kidding. We like Modern Rock, but what is modern? Classic Rock sounds old school, but this fits too. AOR? Does anybody still know what that means? Alternative, indie, even punk or garage rock sounds fine. In the end you decide. It's guitars, bass, drums and vocals and either you like it or not.

PRETTY UNPLUGGED (2021)
“… my world is locked down and I wonder, how much nothing I can take”…
2020 was the year when everything changed. But after a period of waiting, hoping, hesitating and more waiting I finally decided to end resignation and start recording. Often our songs come to life on an acoustic guitar and then get transferred into electric realms. This time I thought “This sounds good as it is, so l’ll leave it that way.”

AMERICA (2020)
Watching the news especially between 2017 and 2021 made me seriously wonder where this society is heading at. Even though this song is called America, I dare to say this more and more concerns the entire Western hemisphere. (For my German fellows: Fuck AfD.)
Recorded in September 2020 at Yearningrocks studio.
Vocals, guitar and string arrangement: Jörn Kachelriess
Btw: In 2017, when DT went on his first rampage, after hearing his inauguration speech, his complains about the biggest crowd ever and all this bs, I wrote him a song which later was published on the Silverfish Surfers album “This is it.” You can watch the first raw version here on YouTube:
SAME PLANET DIFFERENT WORLD (2013)
“… and though I try with all my heart, forgiving is the hardest part”…
2010 was … special, to say the least. And it took some years to fully grasp the consequences, to overcome the numbness. During that time a couple of songs started to take shape. When they finally ended up in this specific order on the album, it almost felt like a concept album – which was never intended. Music can be damn therapeutic.
