Silbermond

Probably Bautzen's best-known "export hit": Silbermond, consisting of Stefanie Kloß (vocals), the brothers Johannes (bass) and Thomas Stolle (guitar, piano) and Andreas Nowak (drums). Silbermond's big breakthrough came in 2004 with the hit "Durch die Nacht". The accompanying debut album "Verschwende deine Zeit" goes double platinum, the following single "Symphonie" becomes a milestone in the German-speaking music scene ... the rest is German pop history.

Silbermond have been one of Germany's top acts since their breakthrough - and have significantly influenced the development of German-language rock music. Anthems such as "Symphonie", "Das Beste" and "Irgendwas Bleibt", more than 6 million records sold, including number 1 albums such as "Laut gedacht", "Nichts passiert" and "Schritte" from 2019, dozens of gold and platinum awards, hundreds of sold-out concerts.

In their 20-year career, Silbermond have never stood still, but have always grown and developed their own genuine band DNA. Personally and with each other. Musically, but also in their connection with their fans. In their discography as well as on the biggest stages in the German-speaking world. Anyone who listens to an album by this band or attends one of their concerts knows what they mean. Together through all times. Side by side. The good, the beautiful and the not so good. This is exactly what "AUF AUF", Silbermond's new, seventh album, is about.

"AUF AUF AUF" is an album that looks to the future. That re-positions things, even redefines them. That confronts life in a new way. With a smile, with openness and with a hug. Silbermond show how to do this on their new album "AUF AUF". And how good it feels! Above all through connection - to and with others, but also to oneself. Connectedness to their own biography and history. Because it is precisely here, in the strong and secure arms of the community, in the rooted anchoring with oneself, that courage grows and develops. This is exactly what makes "AUF AUF" such a positive and invigorating album, full of confidence and good energy. An album for all of us - in the best sense of the word.

Also because there is always something new to discover on this great new album. Whether details or food for thought. Feelings intensify and change, making the album relevant for different stages and phases of life. Gradually, you penetrate the depth and complexity of the work, this power and magic that is inherent only to the format of the album, that defines this band and always has done. An artistic substance and relevance that impresses. You can hear this band playing, you can hear them breathing, yes, you can hear that they are alive and sound amazingly fresh, making the songs the album of a band that is growing. A band that keeps going and invites us all to come along. AUF AUF!
