And he somehow comes across as more of a hard rock/metal guy instead of the pop rock/country guy that JBJ is. Even on the older songs, he tends to overdo the rasp/attitude (at least for me). If he actually tried a bit more to imitate JBJ, I think he could really nail it.
Still would like to see them some time in the future, so please pass the request along to come to Berlin  |
Yeah that accent mash-up or whatever that is is something that I don't like too much either. I think it may be due to the guitarist and him having an acoustic cover band as well where they play all sorts of pop/rock tunes and him liking to partly imitate accents of other artists there as well might've lead to this. However, I've heard other people from the Ruhrpott speak English and some of them just sound as horrendous accent-wise
I'll pass that request on to them
I vaguely remember that they were in Berlin in around 2009 and also played some northern cities like Hamburg at one point, but it was a chaos with the promoters that had booked them, so they've refrained to return ever since.
