Hinterlandexbress
Latest release: Hinterlandexbress
Four years after its formation in the winter of 2018/19, after quite a few pandemic-related confusions and setbacks, the Hinterlandexbress 2023 has finally made it to the Roadhouse recording studio in Upper Austria. The listener can expect a varied and relaxed mixture of blues and rock with jazzy nuances on the eponymous debut album. All 17 tracks were recorded by the experienced on-board personnel directly and almost without overdubs. The sophisticated dialect lyrics are mainly penned by bandleader Dietmar "Dietz" Forisch (schee daneem/a daneem).
Contentwise it goes with the five-headed Kombo from the Inn Salzachdelta not only around the current impositions of the life. They also use material left over from the years and stories from their youth: the visit to the first big concert in the Kronebau, turn-off experiences while hitchhiking or hippie girls wrapped in Indian robes in the fog of incense sticks.

IRXN
Latest release: Gierig und geil
In a fresh formation, the Bavarian hard-folk band IRXN has created a new masterpiece that will not only leave a musical mark on the soul of the listener, but will also lyrically resonate in the convolutions of the brain: In their new album "Gierig und geil", it is among other things about the eternal question of innocence and sin, which already occupied Goethe: Is sin true freedom? Or will it inevitably lead to its downfall? The answer to this can be found in the lively and cheerful songs such as "Goggolori", "Skol" or "FreiZeit", but also in the dark works such as "Unschuld and "Gierig und geil". With this album, IRXN also succeeds in combining ancient Bavarian-Celtic mysticism with modernity and pouring it into contemporary folk music. Peppered with many bonus tracks, the latest work by IRXN is a MUST for every HardFolk fan!

For more than 15 years, the quintet from the Munich area has been touring Bavaria's stages, blithely mixing rock, pop and folk with Bavarian lyrics. As cheerful everyday observers, they present a show of music and humor of a special kind. For the Münchner Merkur, the band is "undoubtedly one of the best current Bavarian rock groups. Doesn't it succeed in combining intelligent, cabaret-like lyrics with catchy melodies"
