Info for Back With A Bang
KISSIN’ DYNAMITE is back - and they are BACK WITH A BANG! This is unmistakably shown by the album title, an expressive artwork in punchy bright colors plus the explosive title track, their brand new song „Back With A Bang!“.
This German band doesn’t beat around the bush with obscure concepts, they know how to get to the point.
Although the band members are no more than in their early thirties, they can already look back at a turbulent and successful career. As young boys they were offered a record deal with tempting and bloomy promises from a major label, taking them "from the school desk to the stage". The band quickly got empowered and self driven and in the course of time they knew more and more what they wanted - and what they didn’t want.
These charismatic, likable guys have uncompromisingly been doing their own thing for many years in spite of current trends.
Their fans all over the world acknowledge their courage and by now thousands celebrate this at the KISSIN’ DYNAMITE concerts. Consequently KISSIN’ DYNAMITE only knows one direction: right to the top!
With each of their previous seven studio albums they reached a higher chart position in the official album charts to reach their temporary peak at position no 2 with their previous album Not The End Of The Road in 2022. The new album is aiming to build on this success, delivering a uniform progression to its predecessor which has been loudly praised by the specialized press. This elevates the band to the next level with a surprising lightness, showing their belief in a successful future with one of the songs called: "The Best Is Yet To Come“.
The unmistakable style and musical direction of KISSIN’ DYNAMITE relate to the magnificent eighties era, paired with catchy songwriting and forceful state of the art production. This makes their sound unique, crisp and energetic. With "Back With A Bang“ they encapsulate their familiar trademarks better than ever whereas particularly the outstanding vocals and vast recognition value of frontman Hannes Braun strike and thrill the listener.
With this masterpiece KISSIN’ DYNAMITE is celebrating classic Arena Rock anthems of an international dimension with a remarkable hit song frequency that makes the Bon Jovis of this world, literally "look old“.
Best example for this is the first single "Raise Your Glass", looking back at the very beginning of the band. The music video humorously shows them looking like they did in their teenage years,
with make up, long hair and band clothing.
"When you see where we came from and what we achieved, we can be pretty proud of where we are now.“ summarizes guitar player Ande Braun. The song is a hymn-like homage to the by now 17 years of band history, getting together as school mates also facing setbacks but always seeing the glass half full.
This positive power is equally shown by the impelling opener "Back With A Bang", the catchy "Queen Of The Night" as well as the sexy pedal to the metal rocker, "The Devil Is A Woman", which has a special story.
"The guitar riff has been haunting my mind for several years but the musical composition had been missing.“ Ande ponders. „Now finally it all falls into place to a become a special song, evoking from the charm of the eighties-like guitar riff and the modern catchy chorus.“ adds his brother Hannes. Closing the album in an astonishing way, "Not A Wise Man“ appears to be even more innovative. This last song is presented fully unplugged, only with vocals, acoustic guitars and cajon. "This is probably our most authentic production ever.“ shares singer and producer Hannes Braun. Not only this intimate unplugged hit clearly indicates that KISSIN’ DYNAMITE has truly talented musicians. This is also highlighted by any other song of this album. Throughout the full length album they prove that there are: No Fillers, just Killers.
It’s an act of honor that they recorded the album all by themselves and renounced Studio trickery. Hannes emphasizes: „Nothing is programmed on this album. It’s all hand made and that's why the songs sound truly alive.“ And you can actually hear this: Regardless of whether the band touches the heart with empathetic ballads or tremendously kicks ass with energetic stadium rock tunes - the songs simply sound real at all times.
KISSIN’ DYNAMITE will demonstrate this live in their familiar manner on the upcoming tour this fall 2024. From October 4th to November 2nd our Bring Back Stadium Rockers will be on tour through Europe with their ‚Back With A Bang! Europe Tour 2024‘
Rock lovers and fans are rewarded with a show and performance bursting with energy, promising unforgettable memories and a night full of genuine and true emotions.
KISSIN’ DYNAMITE
Kissin' Dynamite
The fact that KISSIN’ DYNAMITE don’t do things by halves should be known in the meantime all over the place. After national and international success with STEEL OF SWABIA (2008), ADDICTED TO METAL (2010), MONEY, SEX & POWER (2012) and recently MEGALOMANIA (2014), the young rockband from Baden-Württemberg comes back with their 5th studio album GENERATION GOODBYE in summer 2016.
Times of revolution
„GENERATION GOODBYE symbolically represents a feeling of longing, breakup and a new start, which frequently is thematized in the 11 new songs“, Ande Braun, guitarist of the band, expresses. „And yet it’s actually no concept album“, adds his brother Hannes, singer & songwriter of the quintet.
The songs would be as honest and genuine as never before. The reason for this would be disengagements and changes in terms of business as well as private aspects of every single one. Thus the band parted with their management in 2014 and since then organized themselves completely self-sufficient.
Furthermore, no external producer was obligated anymore. Instead, one relied on the distinct sound concept of the band, which singer and songwriter Hannes Braun simultaniously put into action as producer on the mixing desk. „We had this vision of keeping full control this time in terms of the sound we exactly wanted. Thereby, we had the freedom to deliver the truest, most authentic and most genuine album for us, totally without any pressure or compulsion from outside.“ he remembers. Steffen Haile, bassist of the group, adds: „In the meantime, we cede a minimum of work and so do more and more by ourselves. We think, the more comes from ourselves, the better the end product gets.“ Hence the members spread tasks as songwriting, PR, merchandise, social media etc. internally.
„Of course I use writing lyrics in order to process certain incidents out of my private life, where just recently quite a bit has happened“, reflects lyricist Andi Schnitzer about the lyrics!
In times of social changes
Also current events of politics and economy would have influenced the songwriting. „We live in a time of constant accessibility, where everyone needs to know everything at any time. The wrong things are taken for too important. That’s not healthy anymore. Like this, the people get unsecure, blind and shy.“ attests Andi Schnitzer. „Because of the fact that in terms of these things we look into the future with quite several worries, GENERATION GOODBYE can also be seen as an act of liberation in a way. We are the generation that can achieve something. Our generation is able to see what goes wrong and so we call for turning one’s back on this progress consciously.“
Generation smartphone
In practice, this could already begin with banalities. It would be already a start to spend an evening with good friends or to go on a concert – but without taking along the mobile phone. You consciously would have to decide for not being reachable for the whole world, at least for a few hours. Like this, you wouldn’t run the risk of getting the feeling of possibly missing something. „Instead, I have the possibility to enjoy the Here and the Now, the moment as it is, for me and others.“ tells Ande Braun.
Solidarity & endurance
The fast pace that our time entails also doesn’t stop when it comes to music. The evidence was recently provided by the biggest record companies of this time. Artist identities are created overnight which are supposed to disappear from the screen the next day in order to clear the way for their replacements. „In this way we’re subjected to a loss of value that we want to beard with our music.“ guitarist Jim Müller thinks. „We’re sure the reason of our success is our endurance and our team spirit as a band.“ And the fact that the band plays music together since their school days, you notice with every tone.
