The German Post-Hardcore band About an Author is added to the line-up for Brainstorm Festival. They will replace Benea Reach from Norway, who cancelled their show a few days ago.
The annual 2 day festival will be held this weekend [November 1 & 2] in the Gigant, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. The time-schedule can be viewed below.
About An Author is a post-hardcore band from Augsburg/Germany. After touring with US-Bands like “Spoken” and “Write this down” they are now preparing their upcoming record, which will be released early 2014.“We’ve evolved musically and packed our ideas and experiences into our songs,” Robin said in an interview. The result is a varied game of mosh parts, accompanied by Scream and emotional vocals, combined with quiet melodies. Awards, experiences with various bands and other projects as well as their new style have brought robin, andi, ralph, vali & benny together. AAA stands for positive views, which are also reflected lyrically in their songs and show stories can have a happy ending.
