3) ESTHER – Die Stars von morgen
Another YAA!!!-Band made it ’till the „Die Starts von morgen“-contest of the german magazin stern.de.
Please vote now for ESTERS video „Do one thing…“ at stern.de/diestarsvonmorgen!
4) CONVOJ
At the 12th Dec. was the release of the Convoj album „Exceptionnel“.
It’s a trap wrote:“Completely unrestrained and unrelenting, and yet paradoxically focused, “Exceptionnel” tears down strange avenues only to erupt into graceful moments of beauty… and then back into their distortion-tinged lightning strike guitars, thick, driving bass, deft drum work, and commanding vocal delivery. There isn’t a misstep on “Exceptionnel”, nor is there a chance taken that isn’t rewarding.” 9/10!!!
Absolutnoise means: BEST OF 2008 : MY FAV ROCK RECORD! Already a Swedish rock classic!!!
So, if you still need a awesome record as a x-mas present, „Exceptionnel“ should be your first choice. If you wanna listen to the whole album first … http://wonderlandrecords.com/convojpress/
