about
Filipps Firma is a wonderful small family business, founded in 2002 by the two brothers Philipp and Pete Quest and expanded with Nils Krenz, keyboard, in 2004. Two guitars, two voices, catchy melodies, and a relaxed appearance leave the listener feeling comfortable while experiencing this acoustic emo pop. Filipps Firma don’t use a whole train of machinery to produce their music, only minimal technical devices. Their music is reminiscent of bands like "Jimmy Eat World" and "The Get Up Kids". The band has played more than 200 concerts since it was founded in the autumn of 2002 and has impressed listeners in small clubs and pubs all over Germany. "Global Player" was their first studio album, and the band has already caught the attention of small TV and radio stations. In December 2005 they went on their first tour throughout Germany and six months later on their second tour, which was supported by the VW Soundfoundation. The tour was very successful and Filipps Firma came in first at the 5th Ilmenauer Newcomerfestival, Germany. 2007 sees a further highlight in the company history of Filipps Firma: The band have now signed to the independent label “9a music” and, together with producers Jens Ewald and Neil Grant, they will be recording their first album on the new label throughout the summer. The album is scheduled for release at the end of the year. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
