After a near-fatal car crash ended his 13-year-long stint as the drummer of German punk veterans
Die Toten Hosen, Wolfgang Rohde (aka Wölli) had to re-focus on other musical endeavors. He started the record label Goldene Zeiten and helped to organize the Rock am Turm festival. On his 2011 solo album
Das Ist Noch Nicht Alles, released under the moniker
Wölli und die Band des Jahres (Wölli & the Band of the Year), Rohde presents himself as a singer and lyricist. While the lead single "Alles Nochmal von Vorn," recorded with his former bandmates Campino and Andreas von Holst, recalls the sound of
Die Toten Hosen, and the band's current drummer Vom Ritchie appears on "Two Drunken Drummers," the rest of the album also encompasses other styles such as earthy rock and even country. ~ Christian Genzel
