A whole generation has had the crossover anthems of H-Blockx etched into their pop culture memory. Anyone in Germany between the ages of thirty and fifty has likely celebrated at parties to “Risin´ High” or jumped in the air to the beat of “Move” in front of some stage. The band from Münster is the most successful domestic crossover band of the 90s, having written an evergreen classic with “Risin´ High,” which is an unshakeable part of this pop decade.
Their groove still moves the masses today. They have already played at Rock Am Ring five times, getting tens of thousands of festival-goers into a party mood, and the H-Blockx have sold over 2 million records to date.
With their new album “HBLX,” the band is once again full of energy and ready to continue the virtues of their legendary debut “Time To Move.” They recorded the 11 new songs in the studio almost under live conditions, full of spontaneous energy, which successful producer Vincent Sorg (Die Toten Hosen, In Extremo, among others) and his partner Jörg Umbreit were able to capture masterfully.
“HBLX” will be released on May 25 in cooperation with Embassy Of Music and the distributors Warner and Zebralution. The band has already confirmed initial appearances for the festival season from May to August (including Taubertal Open Air, Highfield, Deichbrand, Greenfield), with an extensive tour following in the fall of 2012 and spring of 2013.
The now seventh studio album contains eleven exciting songs, characterized by muscular rhythms, catchy melodies, and memorable vocal parts. “HBLX” shines with funk stripped down to the bone, stormy choruses, and cool lyrics.
