Quit when it's at its best: advice that is often given but rarely heeded. Heiko and Roman Lochmann have done just that with their project Die Lochis. After three top 5 albums, numerous awards, more than a billion plays of their singles on YouTube, completely sold-out tours and two feature films, the two have been successfully launching new music, live tours and chart positions as HE/RO since 2021.
"WE WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL"
HE/RO 's artistic vision is much more mature, personal, unconventional and bold. Nowhere is this attitude clearer than in their music: "We want to create something special with our songs," says HE/RO. The fans should have fun with the music. Of course, it also gets profound at times, but always remains accessible.
"When we're in the studio with Alexis Troy, we understand each other blindly because we have exactly the same vision". They are children of their time. They grew up with the pop of the 2010s. All of this flows together in the pop-rock sound of HE/RO. "We combine modern pop with rock elements - but we also celebrate the niche and experimental, want to do crazy things and dare to do something".
This results in songs about moments when the world stops for a moment, when you feel misunderstood and perhaps out of place. Music about feelings that everyone knows. Songs to encourage you to go your own way and that it's perfectly okay to be who you are. Songs with rough edges. Progressive and yet not overly cerebral. With little tweaks and tricks - whether in the sound or in the lyrics.
HE/RO have a lot to tell and simply say things as they are. Not through the flower and around the corner, but directly and straightforwardly. Regardless of whether it's about their own change or that of the world, about the old and the new, about trust in themselves and others - and in doing so, they skillfully bridge the gap between Gen Z and the millennials.
