If you can't remember the '70s you weren't there... well, something like that. Growing up in the '70s, the four members of BAUPLAN were certainly there. Heavily influenced by the classic hard pop of the late '70s and early '80s that spilled across the FM airwaves in San Diego, Toronto, Singapore and Rochdale, who could not be smitten by such sounds? Spin forward 40 years (in a pimped up DeLorean). In the 'burbs of London, a (rolling) stone's throw from Olympic Studios – mecca to the recording of albums by The Stones, The Who, Queen, Led Zep, Floyd, Duran, Bowie and The Beatles – BAUPLAN formed: gritty guitar, searing synths, blistering bass and driving drums.

Melodic late-'70s Hard Pop is back with a twist.
