Convojs "Exceptionnel"



When

cruising along the roads of Europe, once in a while you drive

by heavily loaded trucks. Perhaps a smaller ship in the cargo is

transported towards open waters. These trucks are marked with the words

“Convoi Exceptionnel”. Universal words with

multi-dimensional meanings

and connotations. Big words telling us about a heavy and valuable load.

Convoj's

history is similar to the history of those ships. Ever

since we started the band in 2004 we have worked hard resulting in

blood, sweat and tears. In the beginning it all went so fast, perhaps a

bit too fast; we were heavily hyped on the internet, dropped an EP and

got to open for bigger acts while we were polishing the final edges of

our debut album. Eventually the album was done but nobody would release

it. Those who would could not afford it. The music business was in a

crisis and no one could invest in us. We separated from our manager.

And now we stood there, all alone with a newly pressed recording and a

debt to the recording studio.

We

weren't only stuck in the slowest lane, the Autobahn was now,

it

seemed, closed for our “Convoi Exceptionnel”, and

we were forced to

take alternative and more bumpy roads. Well, nothing ventured, nothing

gained and if you have built a boat, you have to let it sail. It is as

simple as that. We gave our everything, we did not give up.

And

finally we found  Wonderland Records. With them we have now

started a hand in glove relationship, sometimes so intimate that you

can't tell who's hiring who; exactly the level of

intimacy all

relations should be on. So close, that if and when we encounter an

obstacle we'll overcome it at the drop of a dime. But more

importantly!

- this autumn the cargo is loaded with Indie Rock at its best. Indie

Rock Exceptionnel!

Convoj's

full length album Exceptionnel is released end of October on Wonderland

Records.

First

single is The Shovel. See you on the road!
