Tokio Hotel, “Kings Of Suburbia”, 2014

Seven million worldwide-selling recordings, platinum awards in 68 countries and a show in front of 500,000 people at the Eiffel Tower. TV stars and darlings of the tabloid press. Superstars in the truest sense of the word. A band so large that each of their steps by an army of photographers was accompanied. Bill and Tom Kaulitz have exchanged all the anonymity of Los Angeles, a city in which they can not Right away be identified on the road. A metropolis where the paparazzi have other priorities. Ideal conditions to bring their band new life. “When we arrived in the United States, I could No more hear the name Tokio Hotel. I was so tired of everything.”, says Bill. “We had to out To find, what we really wanted from life. For this we had to only back make the music and our career, clear our head and risk a radical new beginning.” “I was not even sure if I really wanted it.” his brother Tom agrees. “The high price we had to pay for our success, the whole madness, I had not imagined my life so. But in Los Angeles we have the most importantly discovered again – our love of music.” The result is Kings of suburbia, the new album by the band. A beacon of songs that lichterloh burn and never fade. This album shows influences of one year of intensive new determination, endless antics in Los Angeles club scene the whole spectrum of the new life of the brothers, the wild nights, who tomorrow. Worry-free and without compromise. Songs such as “feel it all” “Girl Got a Gun”, embody the club atmosphere and breathe through dance nights from every pore, to the gentler, introverted sound of “Run Run Run” (first single track) and “Love Who Loves You Back”, you can experience the Kaulitz twins on the boundaries of their sanity and sobriety. Their knowledge that it is possible to reflect their new life in their songs. A soundtrack to all the Parties who never come to an end. Kings of suburbia bursting with authenticity, because Tokio Hotel the content of their songs live and give their nights in the songs to life. “The producers loved it when I came directly from the clubs in the recording studio to record my vocals.” Bill laughs. “So many songs created. We have captured directly these moments.” “For this album a lot of cigarettes, drinks and nights on it are gone.” Tom added with a knowing smile, “We missed a single Sunrise during the recording sessions.” Kings of suburbia is a defiant and uncompromising statement by Tokio Hotel. Although they worked again with an eclectic selection of producers, including familiar collaborators such as Jost, Rock Mafia and Guy Chambers. In addition, there are unmistakable influences of the hippest DJs from the hottest clubs in Los Angeles. But for the first time in her career, the Kaulitz brothers took over the rudder themselves and loomed the lion’s share of the work in the Studio. Tom felt most visibly in his new role as the driving force and showed his skills this time not only on the guitar, but also on the piano, drums, and synthesizers. “On the most song, my guitar is merely a tool. I see myself more as an ALLROUNDER and producer for the band and not as pure guitarists. We have driven Each other us, to include the perfect album. Every sound on this album is exactly as we wanted it. We have produced the most this time.” The band members of Georg Listing (bass) and Gustav Schäfer (drums) were part of the madness Of course as always. Live instruments with electronic beats were combined to create an album at the end that is different than anything that you have heard of Tokio Hotel so far. They have rediscovered their lust for life – and thus their zest for music – with Kings of suburbia . Far away from the limelight, Far away from all the positive and negative aspects of Fame, they could into a world of simple (and sometimes reckless) pleasure dive, rediscover themselves and thereby created a new world for themselves. “It feels as if we could really enjoy the life here for the first time. We are 15yrs out of school, started out with the band and had more from that moment on no privacy. There were only Tokio Hotel” Bill looks back. “We were chased by our own success and have somehow always tried to escape the whole. We wanted to just only something like a normal life.” Tom adds: “at some point you long after that, to be able to do very simple things. And here I could go with the bike, go to the supermarket or log on my car. That has me damn happy.” Tokio Hotel are not naïve. The laws of the music industry says that you can disappear just for five months – let alone for five years – and then expect, that everything is as before. But the guys are brave enough to put this theory to the test. They have already conquered the world by storm and are ready to do it again. But this time on their terms. “There is clearly a risk.” says Bill. “But this album everything is as we imagine it and it is the first time we can say that honestly so. We have done so as it suited us. No one has written us songs that we need to “sell”. The album is 100 percent. 100% Tokio Hotel. To be able to say it feels damn good!” – original article
