After the release of
their debut album "Strike" (2009), Basti, Digger and Sam already had
to answer in several interviews the question that did not want to be quiet:
"Are you going to release an album with songs of your own? "Of course
the answer was always" Yes ", because they were already presenting in
their shows some own compositions with the" classic" covers of pop
hits.
However, fans had to
wait five years to listen to an album "almost" original: "Game
Day". Why "almost"? Well, the album includes three covers:
"Royals" of Lord, "Video
Games" of Lana del Rey' and
'Diamonds' of Rihanna. The album was officially released on March 28,
2014 and had two formats: Normal with 12 tracks and Deluxe with 17 (this one
with Rihanna's cover).
According to Sam, the
choice of the title was because, on the one hand, it is a reference to the name
of the band and to the sport and, on the other, because they tried to have,
musically, a lot of variety.
One funny thing is
that to write their songs, they first compose in the pop style, and then make
the arrangements in rockabilly, it means, as Basti said in an interview:
"We make covers of ourselves", LOL.
And now let's go to
Track-by-Track of the album (the opinions are from one of our administrators,
it does not mean that the blog agrees, or doesn't, with her, ok?):
