Oliver Spring, singer of tEaR!doWn, performing live.

The synthpop/dark electro hybrid project tEaR!doWn was born right in the middle of the past decade in Northern Germany. Heavily influenced by seminal North American acts such as Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly and Mentallo and the Fixer, the band experimented with various electronic musical instruments and gradually developed their signature sound. In late 2006, Oliver Spring, the former front man of Sleepwalk, joined the crew and added his powerful voice to tEaR!doWn tunes.

From 2008 onwards, tEaR!doWn have played live shows in Germany and Switzerland on a regular basis and continually refined their sound. Clouds Cover The Sun” is the culmination of 6 years of blood, sweat and tears. The band’s unique blend of synthpop and dark electro masterfully shifts from hard mid and up-temp grooves to beautifully crafted atmospheric undertones, all of this enriched by Spring’s slightly distorted vocals. The album is proudly accompanied by a remix disc, fittingly titled Torn Down & Reconstructed”, featuring a mouth-watering line up of classic electro acts and mega-talented neo-old school bands. Electro Aggression Records invites you to embark on a journey of glittering dreams and astonishing sonic landscapes!
