These young musicians from Cologne, Germany are putting on that kind of show that New York Dolls Guitar player Johnny Thunders was asking for. Perfectionism? It’s non-existent in the world of THE BACKYARD BAND. But a whole lotta dirt, sweat and Rock’n’Roll attitude! Loud guitars, dynamic bass, a cracking kick-drum and a cutting harp. Their music is too much Punk for the Blues- And too much Blues for the Punk. It is something in between.
But nonetheless ... Punks, Bluesmen, Metal Heads, Hippies and even Indie/Alternative people coming to the bands concerts and celebrating together.
And YES! It is possible. Since 2010 the boys have played dozens of shows in clubs, bars and festivals. That brought them a lot of attention and a record deal with German Indie Label Drumming Monkey Records, followed by the release of their first official album "Second Hand” in May 2016.
