Bio:
A hard rock band from Germany, formed in 1988. 2 albums (V2 in '88 and Out To Launch in '90) and two singles.For such an accomplished Hard Rock act V2 have a strange pedigree, most of the members, guitarists Simon D'Brouler and Alexander W Reich plus drummer Matti Krebs coming from outrageous Porn Rock act S.A.D,O. As V2 the band, having crafted their debut eponymous album at Skytrax Studios with producer Dave Hutchins, came to attention via their opening slot on HELLOWEEN's 1988 British tour garnering favourable reviews. All was not well within the V2 camp though as for the second album "Out To Launch" vocalist Tommy Heart was superseded by Ralf Dohanertz as the band also augmented their strength adding second guitarist Joannis Steeva.Tommy Heart went on to greater prominence working with ZENO on their 'Zenology' album, ULI JON ROTH and subsequently fronted FAIR WARNING, an act of massive stature in Japan The first V2 offering. saw release in Japan during 1997 with an additional four tracks.
Album:
Super melodic debut full-length album with Tommy Heart on vocals.V2 are the four former S.A.D.O. musicians who split from Straps founder Andre Cook and are now trying their luck with their own band and a talented newcomer named V2.German heavy rock of the late 80s with those screaming vocals of Tommy Heart.The guitar work is remarkable and the band seems to be strong and hard.The songwriting is so good i think.My favs are "hot line","dying for your love "and " rock the city".A very, very good hard rock album.Hard rock in the style of Bonfire, better than the second album, in fact much better! Run for Your Life, Rock the City, Dying for Your Love, Make it Hard, Hot Line, Wall Street are explosive songs full of energy, and it's a joy to listen to a hard rock album of this caliber.Melodic hard rock / melodic metal for fans of BONFIRE, FAIR WARNING, EZ LIVIN and many more.
