All songs were recorded with very limited resources in Janco`s homestudio back in 1999/2000.
Little did Janco know, that lead guitarist & live technician Rob Alien was living in the apartment right next door to him. As soon as they met, Rob was invited over and they started jamming and making their first songs together.
Torine Brunton, a female singer who grew up with and went to the same elementary school as Janco in their youth, appeared on Janco`s liveshows as a guest artist performing "Bridge over troubled water" and the crowd went wild. Janco got the goosebumps and asked her to sing backing vocals on the ballad "The fallen rain". Totally blown away by her performance, he quickly found out that she had to do the lead vocals as well. The song has now received more than 10 "Best Female Vocals"-awards on garageband.com. Click here to see all awards.
The Pumpingstein album is also available on itunes and rhapsody.
