"The musical group BossHoss rejoice in their hometown origins - 'Back to the Boots'"
The Berlin-based band The BossHoss is celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their new album, "Back to the Boots". Contrary to some assumptions, the band's origin didn't stem from America but from a bar in Berlin.
The new album is a testament to the band's growth over two decades, as frontman Alec Völkel states. It represents a return to their roots, with a unique sound that has been honed in Berlin.
The album features collaborations with some big names, including R&B legend Dionne Warwick, who lends her voice to a new version of her hit "What the World Needs Now Is Love". Fans might also recognise the iconic "I'll be back" line from actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, which he spoke for a track on the album.
The band's music can be described as a blend of country-rock, inspired by America but handcrafted in Germany. "Back to the Boots" evokes the scent of American country roads, motor oil, and whiskey.
The band's love for the USA remains, despite the second term of US President Donald Trump. Sascha Vollmer, the other band member, expresses hope that America will become reasonable again.
The band's upcoming concert tour, starting at the end of September, will feature songs like "One More Time", "Win Win", and "Showdown". Fans can look forward to a mix of old favourites and new tracks from the anniversary album.
The band's early success was due to self-burned CDs being copied and distributed among their friends. Today, they continue to travel to the United States for inspiration, as they have done since their early days.
The band's music is not a watered-down version of country music, as "Lunch" stands out sultrily and "German Angst" humorously takes aim at German clichés. The BossHoss have managed to create a sound that is distinctly their own.
So, get ready to feel the closeness of your favourite band again as they tour through German clubs starting late September. With "Back to the Boots", The BossHoss are back and better than ever.
