On his tenth studio album “Shampoo Or Gasoline,” Reto Burrell sounds as snotty and cheeky as if it were his debut.
The new album was created in the momentum of the band's last concert tour in spring/summer 2017. The live presence and the energy of their interplay were a key driving force, providing the necessary fire. Composing, playing live, and recording went hand in hand. Burrell usually likes to incorporate personal experiences into his songs. But on this album, for the first time, he consciously sings about things that make him think. He also addresses characteristics or conditions in our society that have unfortunately become so entrenched that we no longer question them.
Whitewashing instead of questioning – looking away instead of recognizing – waiting instead of acting. In his new songs, Burrell also sings about the return of Robin Hood and wonders when the bottomless bucket will finally be full. If you want to be heard in this noisy world, you have to scream. Rock music shouldn't just be played; it should be lived much more.
Burrell has managed to make rock music his lifeblood. Even after more than 20 years of concert experience on hundreds of stages both at home and abroad, he's still full of energy. This is how you experience him at every one of his concerts: straightforward, direct, and always in a good mood!
