NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!!!

July 9th, 2021

Here’s a little something i’d like to share with you -

Claudio Sisto has been „my“ drummer from 2006 - 2009 (in Contracrash) and then again from 2019 until May 13th this year.

Whenever i had a new song, the two of us would go in the rehearsal room and arrange it.

And before any other guy in the band heard it, we had it all worked out - ready to go.

When he left Contracrash, we didn’t talk for seven years. 

Working with him on the new B&R album had me hoping for a common future -

The future we’ve been working towards 15 years ago.

I’ve even considered turning B&R into a real band instead of a solo project.

Some guys who sing or play on the upcoming album i probably would have never known if it hadn’t been for Claudio.

Two of them are Tobias Hübner (Vocals) and Roberto Palacios (Bass).

Since we all had a great connection to this song, Tobias had the idea to make Survivor’s „Man against the world“ a tribute to the man whose being and playing we all cherished.

So, this is for you Claudio!

Hope you can hear it, wherever you are.

Dear Claudio,

we only met three years ago. A bandmate became a friend. There were some, but far too few, great moments on stage and in the rehearsal room.

You were one of the best drummers I have ever worked with!

In January we were planning an acoustic band, especially the song "Man Against the World" should be part of it.

We all hoped and fought with you for so long, unfortunately you lost the fight ...

I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey, we will meet again 

Take care my friend!

Tobi

In memory of the man who not only accompanied me in all my bands for years, but also introduced me to Matt and Bells & Ravens. The last album we did together. Besides the ingenuity of the record itself, it will have an even more special place in my heart. See you again my friend!

Roberto

IDEAS. TOOLS. KNOWLEDGE.

If you got those three, being confused won't stop you!

BEGAN WRITING FOR B&R ALBUM NO. 3

April 8th, 2021

Producing and arranging often takes far more time than the songwriting itself. Everytime i made a record, there came a time when i missed writing new stuff. Because the songs you're working on, all have been written ages ago and there's still so much to explore...

So, i know i shouldn't... but i just began writing for the 3rd B&R album 🤪

February 26th, 2021

No tambourines allowed 😎

THROWBACK THURSDAY

February 25th, 2021

IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!

February 15th, 2021

Working day and night to make sure the next B&R record gets as facemelting as possible!
