New Album "Mission IV" out now.
With BOWMEN, grunge meets bluesy hard rock, somewhere between 'Alice in Chains'
and 'The Brew' (Classic Rock Magazine, Issue 6/2020). In 2015, three music enthusiasts
came together to celebrate energetic 'handmade rock music,' free from clichés and
mainstream: the trademark of BOWMEN. This is impressively demonstrated on the two
albums:
Mission 27°59’17“N 86°55’31“E (2016)
Play Some Rawk (2020)
The third album by these men of conviction will be released in June 2024.
But BOWMEN are more than just studio recordings. Live performance is what Bowmen,
reinforced by a second guitar since 2022, is all about. The stage is their personal therapy
room, where they can fully unfold. Critics agree: Stefan Pfaffinger on bass and Christian
"Tilly" Klaus on drums are a powerful duo on stage. With their decades of experience,
they bring a tremendous amount of energy with them, their performance can only be
described as "tight". Markus Escher convinces with soulfully intoned lyrics and
charismatic stage presence, Jan Wendel provides additional pressure on the guitar parts.
BOWMEN have been seen live at various venues:
Anvil Europe Tour 2022 (9 Gigs in DE+CH)
Rock das Ding, Balge
Rock the King, Kempten
Wernigeröder Schloss Rock Nacht, Wernigerode
