Anyone heard of them? They're a German electronic-pop band from Dresden, Germany. They were formed when they were 13 years old but under the name Jack Of All Trades... In 2006 they Published their first album called Polarkreis 18. At the end of 2008 they released the single Allein Allein which hit number 1 in the German Top 100. A few months ago they released their second album, The Colour Of Snow, as well as the single of the same name. :biggrin2: Both albums are in English.

Hey! I forgot to add how I discovered them! :doh:

One fine day I was watching Vh1...aaaaaand, in Pop Chart they played "Allein Allein". I loved the song immediately, and Felix reminded me of Mika. That falsetto, and end of the song reminds me of Mika's voice very very much :thumb_yello: they were even on the 1st place of the Pop Chart!

That's right! They've got a full, round sound which today hardly any artists have.

 

I love that one too! It looks so artistic.
