With their debut CD, in September, 2000, "GOD HAS FAILED" RPWL was greeted on
all sides with great enthusiasm. Praise and excellent reviews in all the
important magazines. A hugely successful tour through half of Europe and
appearances at many of the major festivals. In addition, RPWL has become an
appreciated part of the Progressive/Symphonic rock scene. In 2000, some of the
most important and influential Scene magazines graded the band on the
world-wide popularity scale under the TOP 3!
In spring 2002, RPWL released their second album "Trying to Kiss
The Sun". What began in 1997 as a PINK FLOYD cover band has in the
meantime developed into an effective band in its own right. The
music is still typically "RPWL" and without question, belongs to the
symphonic rock scene. With a well-thought out collage of sound and
tone, haunting melodies and poetic texts that get under the skin and
are not easily forgotten, together with a Brit-pop rock mood.
Backed-up by a unique Quadrophonic-System, every concert becomes a
very special experience! There were numerous opportunities to
experience RPWL live at stage: The Band went on tour through out
Germany and half of Europe.
Meanwhile RPWL has won their fans' favour world-wide. So it's not
surprising that, in July 2002, "Trying to kiss the sun" was released
in the USA as well. In December 2001 the Brazilian people have
already released the "God Has Failed"-album.
Motivated by their latest success the band has released a very
special album (in Germany and in the USA): "STOCK - A collection of
previously unreleased material". Additionally for all hi-fi fans
they have mixed the "STOCK" songs in the most modern way of
listening to music: 5.1 Surround-Sound. Obviously it has suggested
itself to transmit the Quadrophonic-Sound from concert stage to the
people's familiar living-room. So the "STOCK" album is published as
a digi-pack with one conventional CD and one DVD with the surround
mix (Dolby/DTS) plus a tour- and history-video of RPWL. The release
of "STOCK" was on 10th February 2003 (Europe and USA). The press has
paid a great tribute to this album therefore the following tour
through Europe, started on 13th March 2003, has been entirely
successful. In 2003, as a very honour to RPWL, they had got the
chance to support the very popular band Toto at the "Tollwood-Festival"
in Munich.
In November 2003, for the very first time, the band gave a concert
in Great Britain (Rotherham) and in April 2004 they traveled to the
USA in order to play as headliner at the "Rites Of Spring"-Festival
in Phoenixville/Philadelphia. In August they played for the very
first time in Spain.
In January 2005 the band released a new album (entitled "World
Through My Eyes"), also available as special-edition Hybrid-SACD 5.1
mix! One track on it ("Roses") features the impressive voice of
Ex-Genesis/Ex-Stiltskin-singer Ray Wilson on lead-vocals! The
following European tour (including live-gigs in England, Spain,
Poland, Belgium and Germany) had its starting point with a
TV-recording for famous German rock-show "WDR Rockpalast" - once
again with Ray Wilson as special guest.
The following release "Start The Fire - RPWL live" includes the
entire TV-show plus several tracks played throughout the last
European tour in 2005. Beside the guest appearance of Ray Wilson,
some highlights on this 2CD-Set surely are some rare cover versions
of old Pink Floyd songs.
Insideout and RPWL scheduled the forthcoming official "RPWL" album:
release will be late February, 2008 just in time for RoSfest!
