Runway 27, Left

“The music on the album 'Runway 27, Left & Friends' sports a certain minimalism. Erich 'Weissfeder' Brandl and Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer call their style 'In-Blues Entertainment' and, thus, are strongly reminiscent of British singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, who also went from rock and pop back to the roots of blues. However, the Austrian duo uncovers even more approaches, like country, rock n' roll and bluegrass. The album starts with 'L.O.V.E.' with, like with all songs, the duo's guitar work taking center stage. The two musicians understand each other without words even in silence and fuse to form an integral group. Supported by guest musicians contributing bass lines and percussion, the musical landscape is being expanded, like in the case of 'Flight By Night', 'Tipper Sticker' and 'Derrick '59'. The song 'I Wül Ham' is a little pub story where the pub owner calls the police. The instrumental 'Cantiga', accompanied by a Bouzouki, opens up a new musical chapter. Runway 27, Left are not about putting on a huge show, they are committed to melody, emotional intermediates and distinctions. This is not about who does something, but how it is done. Without ruffle, up-close-and-personal and always a truly serious affair.” - Jörg Palitzsch

“The acoustic blues duo of Viennese musicians Erich Brandl and Anthony Kammerhofer receives amicable help on further guitars/bass and percussion. This is how their music immediately gains more depth and distinction. It's still all about original songs, home-made in the best of senses and reduced to the essentials.” - Achim Hennes

“Austria's slightly awkwardly named Runway 27, Left are a country blues duo augmented on the Runway 27, Left & Friends release with drums and bass. The songs were recorded in a slightly deconstructed manner, with acoustic guitar pucking front and centre, and chilled country-rock-style vocals.” - DH, DJ and PT
