WERRING - So strange | live @ 3FM
Biography
Who says pop music can’t have depth, be explosive and still remain catchy, appealing to young and old alike? Enter Werring…
Born and raised in The Netherlands, the brothers Erwin (vocals, sax) and Roeland (guitar) Werring are both trained musicians, who grew up in Brussels on classical music, jazz and rock. In music they were very successful at a young age. They won numerous prizes and did their first European tour in a jazz band at the age of 14 and 12, respectively. Then back in the Netherlands in 1999 they set up a studio and began writing, arranging, producing, performing (also drums, keys, bass, samples etc) and recording intelligent pop lyrics, financed by a lot of session work (studio & live) with a variety of acts, including legendary soul artistes Sister Sledge.
Eventually Werring got signed by a daughter label of Universal in the USA (together with EMI Music Publishing), so the brothers moved to the US. Their debut album incorporated everything from heavy rock, disco, electro and of course pop – all blended to pop/rock perfection and masterfully recorded and produced in Hollywood LA by the legendary Mike Shipley. As a mixer or producer Mike’s records have sold in excess of 700 million units worldwide. Successes include AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Sex Pistols, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, India.Arie, Tom Petty, Green Day, The Cars, The Corrs, Van Halen, Nickleback, Maroon5 and countless others.
Werring’s sound if often described as an instant pop smash. Whilst taking its lead from past elements of Duran Duran and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, it manages to sound extraordinarily current and above all, addictively catchy – all embellished in ultra-sleek music production.
Werring dispense with the pop star names, games and stereotypes and instead delivers innovative music with huge crossover appeal. This is pop/rock as its best, slightly different with an edge.
