The Bavarian band Heischneida kicks off with the first track from the new album.

With driving trumpets, a high-energy electric guitar riff to the ghetto blaster beat, and the words "Heid, heid, heid san de Heischneida do ...." the 6 Chiemgau musicians literally blow our ears clear. Lyrically, Heischneida reaches out to all those in need of celebration and partying (which is basically all of us, after such a long time). With the first single release "HSD^2", they deliver a direct and unvarnished message: "we're back, let's go, let's sing and dance ...". And it just feels so good when your body wants to sway from the very first note.
"HSD^2" sweeps us away and signals with its musically driving freshness the onset of spring. Corona has laid us all low, but now it seems we have largely got the pandemic under control, and people are eager to breathe life again without masks and distance. To truly inhale it.
"It was a long time in the free state, we were stuck at home. But now a new start is coming, with strength through the people." Heischneida is back in Bavaria and sweeps us away with a storm of laid-back music.
After the first album "Heischneida" in 2017, the new album "Heischneida II" will follow in summer 2022. The 6 young men impress with their musically creative range, cross-genre charm, wit, and versatility on stage - yes - and they are just cool guys, really...
Since 2015, Heischneida has been playing their way through Bavaria. The impressive list of concerts ranges from the small but legendary village pubs in Chiemgau to the main stages of the large Upper Bavarian festivals like Chiemsee Summer and Brasswiesn. Through countless concerts for various occasions, the band has earned a reputation as an excellent live band that consistently delights even the most heterogeneous audiences with their multifaceted performances, often leaving them amazed and building an ever-growing fan base.
Although the band plays with provocation, rebellion, and defiance, labeling Heischneida as a latecomer punk would not do them justice. Those who listen through the album will feel: here opens a colorful panorama of the elements that make up life. A musical crossover. Genres mix loudly, wildly, and the music remains unpredictable. Sometimes profound, sometimes almost crude and loud. But always authentic. Freedom or independence serves as a guiding motif that runs through the 15 songs of the new album "Heischneida II" and takes us on a sensory journey. The sometimes parodic yet absolutely serious rejection of the SUV driver who binds himself to a monstrous vehicle, or the heroization of the slacker who has detached himself from society underscores this.
Of course, the band stays true to itself and delivers tracks that immediately encourage you to sing along and dance! After all, it’s about getting a lively and dance-crazy club and festival audience excited, warming them up, and sometimes even overwhelming them with their spectacular stage show. Because live, the 6 young men are a true avalanche of musical finesse and joy of playing. With a charismatic frontman who will cause a beard complex in some male visitors, who can read his audience at all times and captivates them with an effortless charm.
And his characteristic voice also shines on record.
Those who can be loud can also be quiet. Right? Yes! Heischneida can.
An album without B-sides where you can taste every drop of heart and soul. As the saying goes: you have a lifetime for the first album, but only five years for the second. Heischneida has made excellent use of these five years! What has emerged is an answer to the present and a guide towards the future! "We are rolling, we are rolling…"
Conclusion: Heischneida II is a superbly produced album. Bavarian dialect rock that makes you crave life with exciting cross-genre songs. Characterized by an extremely charismatic voice with high recognition value, it’s a wonderful piece of life feeling.
The album: "Heischneida II" will be released on 22.07.22 via Donnerwetter Musik/ Distribution: CARGO Records
