With their debut CD, in September, 2000, "GOD HAS FAILED" RPWL was greeted on
all sides with great enthusiasm. Praise and excellent reviews in all the
important magazines. A hugely successful tour through half of Europe and
appearances at many of the major festivals. In addition, RPWL has become an
appreciated part of the Progressive/Symphonic rock scene. In 2000, some of the
most important and influential Scene magazines graded the band on the
world-wide popularity scale under the TOP 3!
In spring 2002, RPWL released their second album "TRYING TO KISS THE SUN".
What began in 1997 as a PINK FLOYD cover band has in the meantime developed
into an effective band in its own right. The music is still typically "RPWL"
and without question, belongs to the symphonic rock scene. With a well-thought
out collage of sound and tone, haunting melodies and poetic texts that get
under the skin and are not easily forgotten, together with a Brit-pop rock
mood - RPWL has made significant steps towards their own style of music with
this second album. Whether enjoyed live or on CD, the songs sometimes sound a
little raw but in that they have a very sensitive and personal tone, are not
only a pleasure to listen to but at times can raise the hair on your head
Backed-up by a unique Quadrophonic-System, every concert becomes a very
special experience!
After the tour 2002 listening to the old session tapes of the "GOD HAS FAILED"
and "TRYING TO KISS THE SUN" recordings the band decided to make a very
special album: "STOCK" - A collection of previously unrealeased material. In
addition to this they mixed the "STOCK" songs in the most modern way in
listining music: 5.1 Surround. So the "STOCK" album comes as a digi-pack with
one conventional CD and one DVD with the surround mix (Dolby/DTS) plus a tour-
and history-video of RPWL. The release of "STOCK" was on 10th February 2003
and the "STOCK" live tour was going to start on 13th March 2003. Enjoy!
