Across The Border Can't Help It

With their rather unusual mix of folk and punk, Across The Border have made a name for themselves regionally since their founding in 1991 as a touring band, whose main focus was on live performances. By 2002, that was over; they had reached an age where they no longer wanted to be on stage every weekend. At least that was the case for some band members, while others sought new fields of endeavor. Leading the charge was frontman Jochen, who, alongside his two-man project Tora Tora Bora, also joined Ahead To The Sea, the successor band that took a much calmer approach.

It seems they couldn't completely let go, as they reunited in 2005 and 2006 to play a few concerts. This seemingly rekindled their desire to make music together more often, leading to an internal decision for a reunion in spring 2007. Now they are going public with it and have some nice surprises for their fans. They are actively songwriting for a new CD, which is set to be released in 2008 under the title "Still angry, still happy." Until then, there will surely be plenty of concerts, with three dates already confirmed:
