About Tobias Regner
Rocker Tobias Regner was one of a generation of new artists vaulted to fame via reality television when he claimed top honors during the third season of Germany's Deutschland Sucht den SuperStar. Born in Teisendorf, Bavaria, on August 5, 1982, Regner studied classical and jazz piano as a child but eventually gravitated to rock & roll, as a teen fronting the heavy metal band Black Jack's. Stints in groups including Plutone, Ge'läck, and Melock followed while he concurrently studied communications at the Universität Salzburg. After graduating in the summer of 2005, Regner auditioned for the smash hit Deutschland Sucht den SuperStar and was named one of just 18 finalists among 14,000 applicants. On the series' March 19, 2006, finale, he edged out Mike Leon Grosch to win first prize, claiming roughly 55 percent of the audience vote. Regner issued his chart-topping debut LP, Straight, a month later, notching his first number one single with "I Still Burn." The follow-up, "She's So," barely cracked the German Top 40, however. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

The Holy Pictures David Holmes |
| Four years in the making, since venturing into the rugged rock-jazz-blues arena with The Free Association; to prepare his fourth proper album David Holmes has put aside Hollywood commitments that began as the soundtrack composer for Steven Sorderbergh movies and has nearly become Holmes main activity as forthcoming soundtracks for the Bobby Sands biopic "Hunger" and "Five Minutes of Heaven" undeniably prove. "The holy pictures" is named after the pub his father was a regular of and conceived as a tribute to the city of Belfast and its people. On it our favourite North Irish DJ gives another lecture on eclecticism and takes a 180 degree turn towards the trendy road where shoegazing and krautrock meet. Next to his cinematic instrumentals, the main surprise here is Holmes singing for the first time, in a not too different manner to Jesus & Mary Chain's Jim Reid. Best example is the first single "I heard wonders", helped by Martin Rev, one half of 70s icons Suicide. Other highlights include the closing track "The Ballad Of Jack and Sarah" dedicated to his parents. Altogether, is a beautiful and rewarding record; his most personal to date. | |
