Switzerland hasn’t been known as an exporter of rock talent, but that is about to change! Take note of the name ‘Barbie Sailers’ as you are going to become familiar with them in the months and years to come. Bringing their own flavour of alt-rock, showcasing a huge range of influences, Barbie Sailers are excelling in pulling together an exciting sound that will appeal to commercial rock fans, just as much as to those leaning to a more metalcore sphere. One thing is for sure, these five guys are setting their sights high, and won’t stop until they make it!
For an introduction to what Barbie Sailers are capable of, their brand new single Follow is a great example. Follow is a song that is full of hooks from start to finish, showcasing frontman Toch’s impressive vocal range. The video for Follow sees the band taking on lead roles and not what they first appear. Bringing the very important message that things aren’t always what they seem at first, this is something that can be attributed to many facets of life.
Speaking about the new track, the band comment:
‘Follow’ is the first track written after our self-titled 2016 EP. The track is a new start for our band and we’re really proud of the end result.
The song speaks of having someone in your life that can change everything, yourself and the world around you. When you find this person you’ve to convince them that you can lead them to the right place and that they can follow you even in the darkest places. ‘Follows’ message is a mixture of love and power so everyone’s can live like this.
Beginning life as a band in 2011, Switzerland natives Barbie Sailers have been steadily honing their sound for the last several years. Following the release of their debut full length album Already In Paradise back in 2013, Barbie Sailers have played shows all across Europe. In that time they have racked up over one hundred live performances, including support slots with such notable bands as Papa Roach, The Subways and Yellowcard, and they have more recently hit the road with The Color Morale, Blessthefall and Our Last Night.
The release of their new single Follow marks the start of the next part of their musical journey that will continue into 2018 and beyond, where Barbie Sailers hope to release more new music, and play as many shows as possible.
