Comecloser

This won’t be a boring story about a band that formed in 2001. But hey, who cares about year dates in a band sheet? No one, at least not me. I’d rather show you, who COMECLOSER really are and what this band stands for.
Forget about your hearing habbit for the same music as ever, take a minute and think about the lyrics or even more important – about COMECLOSER. About a band that never avoids to shed blood, sweat and tears, that destroys stages and plays their asses off wherever they can. Of course, you heard all of that for a thousand times and nearly every band-sheet sounds like that, well .
