history
The history of the storm damage is closely linked to the label Longstocking Records . Singer Michael Klaucke founded the label in 1992 to release the band's second album. The Forgotten Land was produced by Tex Morton .
For the third and final release of Sturmschäden, which appeared in April 1995, the band signed a contract with the major label Autarc ( Eastwest ). This CD was produced by Martin Meinschäfer ( Dolls United ), the single Kunterbunt was remixed by Jens Kuphal .
The band separated in 1997. Thorsten Spiekermann, musical head of Sturmschäden, now plays in the band Von Dörte .
classification
All members of the storm damage come from the Sauerland and are closely connected to the region. The band is featured on the 1994 regional sampler Mein Freund ist Sauerländer . Musically, the Sturmis , as they were called by their fans, are in the tradition of the Neue Deutsche Welle. Role models were, among others, groups such as clay stones shards or the singer Nena .
While the group's first album is still very wavy, German lyrics and more rocky sounds prevailed on the second release. The third release differs significantly from its two predecessors: more musically mature, the suspense ranges from catchy and hit-like pieces such as Mind Catcher or Kunterbunt to trashy and almost hymnal songs like rainbow . The two cover versions are remarkable: the beginning of the end of Nena and Silberstreif , a German version of the Neil Young song After the Gold Rush .
