Streampower gibt es schon seit 2010. Damals als Schülerband mit coolem Namen gegründet ist die Band seither zusammen mit ihren Mitgliedern erwachsen geworden - der Name ist geblieben.

Knapp vor der Pandemie wurde nach einer längeren Kreativpause die EP «Sunnebad im Untergrund» veröffentlicht – die ersten Aufnahmen aus dem eigenen Keller-Studio und gleichzeitig die erste Episode eines grösseren Projekts mit dem Namen «Erkundig».

Nun ist es endlich soweit und «Erkundig Episode 2: Usbruch usem Iimachglas» erscheint online, überall (https://linktr.ee/streampower). Die Reise wird unbequemer, abgründiger und brachialer – ein auditiver Ausbruch aus dem Alltag und dem Gewohnten – eine ausufernde und zugleich nachdenkliche Abrechnung mit der eigenen Begrenztheit in einer komplizierten Welt. Voller Tränen und Zweifel und mit einer guten Portion Zynisums ist es dennoch ein entschlossener Aufbruch zu neuen Abenteuern. Kommst du mit?

Streampower has been around since 2010, when it was founded as a school band with a cool name. Since then the band has grown up together with its members - the name has remained.

Just before the pandemic, after a longer creative break, the EP "Sunnebad im Untergrund" (“Sunbath Underground”) was released – containing the first recordings from their own basement studio and as the first episode of a bigger project called "Erkundig" (“Exploration”).

Now the time has finally come and "Erkundig Episode 2: Usbruch usem Iimachglas" (“Exploration Episode 2: Outbreak from the Preserving Jar”) is released online, everywhere (https://linktr.ee/streampower). The journey is getting more uncomfortable, more abysmal and more brute - an auditory escape from everyday life and the familiar – a rampant and at the same time thoughtful reckoning with one's own limitations in a complicated world. Full of tears and doubts and with a good dose of cynicism, it is nevertheless a determined departure for new adventures. Are you coming with us?

A fusion of shimmering, mind expanding aural surrealism and neo-psych grooves.
The Watchmakers' growing reputation as one of the must see live bands in the North West has received hype from the likes of Fred Perry, NME, Manchester Evening News, BBC Introducing and XFM, drawing comparisons from Revolver-era The Beatles to The Verve and Primal Scream. The band will follow December's now sold out ‘To Be Part Of You’ limited edition release on Blak Hand Records with new material in the spring.
