The Wars is a New Wave band from Berlin formed in 2008 featuring Chris Kowski on vocals/guitar, Gernot Pohle on bass and Felix Roll on drums. The three-piece is considered a second generation Post-Punk Revival project that took its cues from bands like The Chameleons, NEU!, Joy Division and Bauhaus but is also influenced by groups like U2 or My Bloody Valentine. Pohle and Kowski were introduced to each other in early 2008 during a recording session in Berlin of Wave Pop band Lunar Bay. During breaks the two soon discovered they had a lot in common concerning favourite bands, arts and movies. They decided to write and record some tracks at Kowski’s Wintergrain Studio.

“Healings” is their third album. It comes with eleven tracks. Eleven tracks filled with slow and thoughtful music. Along with catchy melodies and tunes the new The Wars album “Healings” lets you float along with your thoughts. The electronic music of the trio guides you through the album like no other. Smooth transitions keep you floating in your thoughts with no interruptions. “Healings” is a wonderful album to get your mind in order, to rest from the day and to relax. The Wars’ new album “Healing” is out now. Enjoy their brand new album.
