BOYS FROM HEAVEN
Mix one part cheesiness with four parts 80's epicness.

That is the essence of Boys From Heaven. An original rock band from Copenhagen, where no expense is spared to ensure Huey Lewis-esque saxophone hooks, heroic guitar solos and four part vocal harmonies. The band draws inspiration from such groups as Toto, Journey and other artists from the merry 80's (and 70's). We guarantee awesome music that will get everyone on their feet, without compromising the quality of the tunes.

The band has come a long way since we formed in the summer of 2015. Now a seven-piece group, we spend our time together in the practice room playing around with old material and, more importantly, writing new songs and bouncing ideas off each other, as well as on stage rocking our freakin’ hearts out.

We spent most of the first year of our existence in the practice room perfecting the original songs deemed to be worthy of being labeled "Boys From Heaven tracks”, as well as recording, both in our home studio and in a professional studio. We played a single gig at Erntefest All-Over, a German hard rock festival, and received favourable and flattering reviews, among others by Mein-Scheessel.de who had the following to say about us:

“Copenhagen-based Boys From Heaven […] surprised the audience with smooth classic rock, that sounded as though it were Roger Waters of Pink Floyd who had written the music. With songs featuring four part vocal harmonies, tambourines and [saxophone hooks], the audience was gobsmacked. It was hard to believe that this was the band’s first concert."

In late 2016 we switched to the current seven member line-up, and the band is going stronger than ever. We’ve been playing gigs around Denmark since then, and the energy both onstage and off has been off the charts.

We thing that is because we are not your run-of-the-mill, one-guitar-a-bass-and-a-drummer rusty garage rock band. With elements like saxophones and dominating piano riffs, wide vocal harmonies and powerful leads, we think that our music stands out as something unique and yet reminiscent of a time when music was more ambitious, more varied and, above all, more FUN! That’s right, we’re talking about the great eighties, when synthesisers were unapologetically exaggerated, and playing rock with a pop twist was a positive thing. Who says songs in major keys can’t have heart-felt, face-melting guitar solos? Not us, that for sure.

ALEXANDER WOODS
Alexander Woods har netop sat dato på hans nye plade ‘The Times We Share’. Det 5 numre lange album bliver udgivet — d. 21. Juli — overalt online.

Pladen er en hypnotiserende skildring af kunstnerens oplevelser, skyggesider og dæmoner. Om at sige nej til den altomfavnende og trygge kærlighed, og stille sig selv i position til turen udi yderkanten af det spor, vi kalder livet. At føle de ægte relationer ude ved den tyndere kant.

Musikken omfavner den dystre, melankolske stemning som Woods allerede er bemærket for - men har samtidig fundet rodfæste i stædige, friske rytmer der giver et energisk drive fremad.
Folkene rundt om pladen:·
- Skrevet, produceret og indspillet af: Alexander Schou
- Mix & Master: Anders Sandau Christensen, Lydtekniker ved Mørkværk Studio
- Artwork: Marie Mørk & Emma Pihl
- Musikvideo: Ed Gumuchian

Kort biografi om kunstneren:
Efter mange forskellige samarbejder i musikken, fik Woods nok af dels den manglende ambition og tro på organisk musik - men også den uforbeholdne dyrkelse af pop-skabelonen.
Derfra spirede et solo-projekt med idé om højt til loftet og plads til at musikken kunne brede sig i hvilken som helst retning der føltes naturlig.

Woods fik sin debut med pladen ‘Cold Cancer’ og singlen ‘Woman’ tilbage i 2016, hvor sammenligningerne faldt på store navne som James Bay, JackGarratt og Alex Vargas.
‘Palace Awaits’ singlen som også er at finde på den nye plade, blev udgivet i December 2016 og skaffede herefter Woods airtime i tysk radio, samt shows i Aarhus, Viborg, København og Tyskland.

Disse live-shows har gennem foråret 2017 åbnet mange døre, og derfor er Woods nu at finde på plakaten til festivaler i bl.a. Viborg, KBH og Düsseldorf, Tyskland. Samtidig har repræsentanter fra både Loppen og Vega været ude og opleve live-showet og er nu i dialog med Woods om fremtidige shows/support-optrædener for internationale bands.
