Synopsis

Album Description
The German-based band released in 2006 what may well be the best album of their career. "We had 62 songs when we arrived and reduced that down to 13..." says frontman Rea Garvey. If albums were buildings, "Wish" would be a very tall one! It was recorded at LA's Sound City Studios (their first recorded outside of Germany) with producer Greg Fidelman, who's worked on albums by Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Slipknot and Jet. They recorded in the studio where Cash made his last album. All 5 band members found the environment highly conducive to their most creative work yet. "We came away with a Reamonn album which is in its best sense an international sound," says Garvey, "it's not an American album, it's not a European album, it's not a German or Irish album it is like I said a Reamonn album and that was what we set out to achieve".

"I first discovered Reamonn while vacationing in Germany in the summer of 2000. The group had two hit songs (Josephine and Supergirl). I brought that music back with me so I could listen to it in the United States because they don't get any airtime over here.



I made another trip to Germany to see the World Cup in 2006. I happened to be in the town of Kaiserslautern (to see Spain vs. Saudia Arabia) when I heard that Reamonn was performing a free concert in the town square. I couldn't believe it. There I was, in the right city at the right time. I had the unique opportunity to hear them perform their latest songs as well as 'Josephine' and 'Supergirl'. This band is just as good as U2.



After arriving back in the U.S., I got kind of depressed because no one has ever heard of them. Reamonn doesn't get any airtime on US radio stations or tv. Not even a single music video. There are a ton of great musical artists in Europe that will never get any airtime over here. It's a shame.
