Modern Hard Rock that is the music of Under Pressure. The music is hard, rhythmic, and powerful. It’s the melange of three musicians of different style directions, which developed to fastidious, groovy Rock music. Dirk Hofacker studied guitar at the American of institutes of Music in Vienna, and sleeps at night alternating with one of its many guitars. To begin he learned to playing the violin- bow on the guitar in England with Jimmy Page! He played in Vienna together with great musicians like: Frank Gambale and Les Wise. To constantly changing guitars he shows that there are musicians of all first cream, also in this country! Michael Cole on the Drums. A young, but very promisingly drummer, who lets UP songs sounds even mor rythmic, more versatile and more virtuos. With Ralf Zimmer, whose name stands for fast, powerful basses, Hofacker has a ingenious partner at its side. The two complement each other outstanding. Its partly strong, partly critical, every now and then also spiritual Lyrics, the strong, and nevertheless feeling-loaded voice, paired with shoe size 44 make him an unusually constancy bass player. He had concerts with great groups like Mothers Finest, Billy Cobham, Roger Chapman, an many others in his career. In October 2005 appeared the CD "The age of Rock". The new CD "Duality" will appear probably in spring 07.A live-concert from UP expects a more than two-hour, always varied Rock event. Who likes rhythmic Hard Rock in all its varieties, with fresh new sounds, virtuosity paired with power, should Under Pressure itself absolutely look at.
