earforce

A German rock music group featuring Mandy Van Baaren (vocals), Burkhard Lipps (vocals), Paco Saval (keyboards, vocals), Tato Gomez (electric guitar) and Willi Ketzer (drums), Earforce shaped in the first 80s. Their debut record, 1982’s Hot Series, highlighted an eclectic mixture of designs, from Fleetwood Macintosh -designed folk/blues rock and roll to even more assertive hard rock and roll. Many critics recommended that the music dropped something in translation (they relied nearly exclusively on British vocabulary lyrics), but usually the record was a reasonably impressive achievement. Not surprisingly, there was hardly ever a follow-up, because the band associates dispersed to various other projects.
