Reamonn

Reamonn is a German pop rock band. They have recorded six albums.

History

The 1990s

In 1997, Rea Garvey left his band The Reckless Pedestrians and home town of Tralee, Ireland to go to Germany with not a lot of money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an ad into local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, "Singer requires band for recording and live shows". Mike Gommeringer (Gomezz) saw this ad and accurately assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The two met up and subsequently recruited Uwe, Sebi and Phil. Their first gig was played on New Year's Eve 1998 in Stockach. "Reamonn" is the Irish for "Raymond".

In order to secure a recording contract, they set up a showcase at Logo, a small club in Hamburg, in front of 16 representatives from various record labels in 1999. The band was quickly offered several contracts, settling on signing with Virgin Records Germany. As of 2006, they are now releasing their music through Universal Music.

The 2000s

Reamonn (album)

Reamonn is the fifth studio album by the German band Reamonn. In Germany, it was released on November 7, 2008, by Universal Music. In the UK, it was released on September 28, 2009.

The album is a comeback album for the group, because the members of Reamonn had wanted to separate, but reconciled their differences and returned to the studio.

Singles

"Open Skies" was the first single from the album. It was the theme song for the German film The Red Baron. The song was only released as a digital download.

"Through the Eyes of a Child" was released as the second single from the album. Lyrics include: "Why did we make it so hard? / This life is so complicated / until we see it through the eyes of a child."

"Million Miles" was the third single from the album. Fans could vote for the album's best song on Reamonn's official website, and "Million Miles" received most votes and was therefore released as the next single. On the cover is the following text: "Home is where there's no mistaking / All this space between us / Isn't going anywhere / But it's ok to be us." The song was co-written by Kara DioGuardi.

Weep

A weep, a weep hole, or a weep-brick is a small opening that allows water to drain from within an assembly. Weeps are located at the bottom of the object to allow for drainage; the weep hole must be sized adequately to overcome surface tension.

Weeps may also be necessary in a retaining wall, so water can escape from the retained earth, thus lessening the hydrostatic load on the wall and preventing moisture damage from freeze/thaw cycles. In such cases the weeps consist of small-diameter plastic, clay or metal pipes extending through the wall to a layer of porous backfill.

Typically, weeps are arranged to direct water which may have entered an assembly from outside back to the outside. Weeps may also be found in metal windows and glazed curtain walls to permit interstitial condensation to escape.

Masonry

In building construction, weeps are typically found in a masonry veneer or cavity wall, just above the flashing. The cavity serves as a way to drain this water back out through the weep holes. The weep holes allow wind to create an air stream through the cavity. The stream removes evaporated water from the cavity to the outside. Weep holes are also placed above windows to prevent dry rot of a wooden window frame.

Weep (band)

Weep is an American rock band from New York City whose music combines elements of ethereal wave, gothic rock, shoegazing, post-punk and synthpop. Formed in 2008 by singer and guitarist Eric "Doc" Hammer, formerly of Requiem in White and Mors Syphilitica, and writer and voice actor for the animated television series The Venture Bros., the band's lineup also includes bass guitarist Fred Macaraeg, keyboardist Alex Dziena and drummer Bill Kovalcik. Their debut EP Never Ever was released in 2008 by Hammer's Astro-Base Go company and Projekt Records, followed in 2010 by the full-length album Worn Thin and a remix EP, 6 Interpretations. Their second album, Alate, followed in 2012.

Weep's music has been described as dark and expansive, with "shimmering guitars and spacy synthesizers". Hammer's singing voice has been noted for its gravelly, robotic qualities which provide a counterpoint to the lush song arrangements. Critics have compared the band to a number of post-punk, alternative rock and shoegaze acts of the 1980s and 1990s.
