=========================== ONE - The new Album of The Folks is out now. All Infos here at last.fm and at thefolks.de. =========================== Four Guys in Berlin – all aged about 19 – loads of passion for their soundproject – but still retaining an easy-going attitude: It's The Folks. Their advanced, mature songwriting is showing a keen sense of good melodies and of focussing on the essence. In addition, a distinctive voice. The Result: Clear song structures, riffs and harmonies. Based on Folk-, Grunge-, Rock’n’Roll- und Crossover music. Its that little bit of everything, producing the specific sound of The Folks. In early 2007, Jonathan Drechsel (leadgt) and Leon Ostrowski (vc/gt) start playing the guitar and singing together at a party on a cozy kitchen session. They harmonize well, so from now on they decided to call themselves a band. The Folks were born. Coming up was intensive songwriting, followed by a slog through the local scene as well as a demo tape of A March On the Borderline. In 2008, The Folks compete against about 1000 other bands at the Coca-Cola Soundwave Discovery Tour , they become finalists . The Folks play at Germanys biggest Rockfestival Rock am Ring. Then, just after graduating from high shool, the Band performs at some other big festivals: Hurricane. Highfield. Area 4. And a lot more. Also in 2008, The Folks record their first album at Lofthausstudios in Darmsadt. It's called ONE. The release powered by their label Soundworks is announced
