Biography
Following the success of their late 2009 released EP “Rift” (Wintergrain) which earned The Wars Band of the Month/Album of the Week on New York based KoolRockRadio.com, Act of the Month on Popmonitor.de and Top 10 entries on various internet radio stations the band received features on many indie rock sites (djbynar.com, darkerradio.com, schallgrenzen.de, coast-is-clear.blogspot.com etc).
Early 2010 the album’s track “Sequence” appeared on Thomas Thyssen’s compilation “Darkness Before Dawn 2” (UpScene/Indigo) which featured artists like John Foxx (Ultravox), The Invincilbe Spirit and The Exploding Boy.
Within the same year The Wars were invited to support shows for UK Decay, Ulterior and Erland & The Carnival.
Fall 2010 saw their latest release “Succubus” (Wintergrain) which instantly became Single of the Week on KRR and appeared on “Advanced Electronics 8” (SPV/Synthetic Symphony) featuring acts like KMFDM, Deine Lakaien und Covenant.
The Wars is a New Wave band from Berlin formed in 2008 featuring Chris Kowski on vocals/guitar, Gernot Pohle on bass and Andy Wilde on drums.
The three-piece is considered a 2nd generation Post-Punk Revival project that took its cues from bands like The Chameleons, NEU!, Joy Division and Bauhaus but is also influenced by groups like U2 or My Bloody Valentine.
Chris Kowski, former lead singer of Lunar Bay who had worked with various known artists like Gunnar Spies of “MIA.”, Christian Neander (Selig) and the Steve Albini-produced Band “Spitting off Tall Buildings” grew up on the island of Sylt - an atmospheric place well known for its exposed situation in the North Sea and its ongoing loss of land during storm tides.
