BENT NOT BROKEN

About Me


-------------- ABOUT THE BAND --------------
BnB is a little git/bass/dr trio from Munich, Germany. Bent every now and then, never been broken though. Far from re-inventing the wheel, but so what, who cares? The driving force behind BnB is the passion for music, the truly satisfying feeling of creating a tune with a meaning. A meaning at least for ourselves. BnB songs aren't necessarily music with lyrics, they're lyrics with music. Of course, should we have succeeded in creating a song that even touches you, you made our day!
-------------- ABOUT THE ALBUM --------------
Ralf 'Jogi' Ruhenstroth ( Home of Rock )
"... loads of cool riffs with an enormous sound... you can skip whereever you want, somehow you will always find a good and interesting melody line. ...'To Whom It May Concern' leaves you with an honest, down-to earth impression!"
Martin Bothmann ( FFM-Rock )
"... Dirty, earthy rock ... an interesting firstling, different but nevertheless convincing"
To Whom It May Concern - the debut album, self-released in Summer 2008. 12 tracks (actually 14 if you BUY the album, haha! ...). Available only to those who still give a damn and buy CDs. If you're really interested, visit our BnB website to listen to all the songs and to order the album for an unbeatable price, directly from the artist. Or, take the official way and use one of the links to the left! Either way - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
-------------- FÜR ALLE FÄLLE --------------
So die Damen und Herren, noch auf die Schnelle ein herzliches Hallo an alle, die sich nicht durch fremdsprachliches Blabla kämpfen wollen. Wir, also BnB, kommen in altbekannter G/B/Dr-Besetzung aus München. Bent Not Broken, verbeult, nicht gebrochen und mit satt Spaß an der Freud', so die Kurzfassung. Hier wird nicht das Rad neu erfunden. Kleine Stories mutieren zu kleinen Songs, die dann vorzugsweise mit Druck aus den Speakern knallen.
Allen Freunden verzerrter Gitarren, sofern sie sich noch zum elitären Kreise der CD Käufer zählen sollten, sei unser in Eigenregie veröffentlichtes Album "To Whom It May Concern" ans Herz gelegt. Eine Handvoll Songs gibt's zum Meinungsbilden oben im Player, der Rest wäre auf der BnB Website zu hören, wo ihr - aufgemerkt - das Album sogar zu einem traumhaften Kurs erwerben könntet. Oder auch nicht, easy -) ... wie auch immer:
-------------- BOTTOM LINE --------------

Besten Dank für's Finden und Auschecken,
Cheers to you all, Jorn, Armin & Nils
Oh, and Windsurfing kicks a§$ ;):

Influences: They're everywhere. Can happen on the streets, a memorable night, a book, a movie or a dream...

Music-wise basically everything that rocks, everything that's real and with an attitude. Favorite songs come and go. Still, here are some of those we'd definitely take on a deserted island:
Van Halen - One
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Danko Jones - Sleep is the Enemy
AC/DC - If you want Blood
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
D.A.D. - Psychopatico
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside
Metallica - same
Mother's Finest - Subluxation
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Ozzy - No More Tears
Oh... and Audioslave, Alter Bridge, Shinedown, Simple Minds, Dredg ... the list goes on forever...
------------------------------
In general we'd like to state: the music business is tough these days, like illegal downloads killing the sales and all - so we bow to all the bands, no matter what style, who made it, who sticked together and fulfilled their dream! Woohoo!!
------------------------------
Books - another source for inspiration:
anything from T.C. Boyle, John Irving, Tom Robbins, Matt Ruff or Jonathan Safran Foer brings you enough enlightment to fill another 20 albums...
------------------------------
Movies - Big Fish, Big Blue, Big Lebowski, yeah movies are big! And Spinal Tap is a must!
------------------------------
Sports - A day on the beach or on the mountains, windsurfing, skiing, snowboarding, whatever - pure inspiration!
------------------------------

Sounds Like: A splendid "we tried our best" mixture of Billy Idol, The Cult, Foo Fighters, Danko Jones, New Model Army, Thin Lizzy and probably another 1.000 bits and pieces from any other rock band from the past 25 years ...
