band to watch | OBERHOFER

Oberhofer may sound pretty much german to your ears, but 19 year old Brad Oberhofer, frontman of the Brooklyn based indie-rock outfit Oberhofer, is American. And with his only 19 years Brad is doing many things right: Although the music contains hand claps, jangly things, as well as plenty of ooohs and aaahs, he still uses very clever lyrics for his age. A good example are the lines in the song “Away Frm U”:

“You’re pushing me away from you/ And there’s nothing I can do”, he wails, but instead of a second chance, he’s just looking for a chance to get it right. “I know what I’ll do/ I’m gonna fix/ So I can get out of this mess”, he promises, right after turning the tables on whoever’s been telling him to fuck off: “I can’t fight all of your battles for you”.

I have the feeling that this won’t be the last time you heard something about Oberhofer!
