FARMER BOYS release the new single and video clip for the song ‘Tears Of Joy’ from their highly anticipated new album »Born Again«, which will be released on November, 2nd
Guitarist Alex comments: “Tears of joy! It was just perfect! We experimented with a few chord-changes and melodies by Matze, then the initial guitar harmony of the song just came to us and immediately this euphoric-melancholic mood arose.
It also thrives on Timmy‘s super groove and a light up-tempo. I can remember that the verse was originally different, Matze then made a better version – last minute. It took a little bit longer with “Tears” than with others, but it was totally worth it, everything is right on point.”
Fronter Matthias Sayer adds: “A memory from the 80s: Dieter Thomas Heck and ‘Formula One’ were like a duty, the ‘Bravo’ magazine, secretly hidden under the bed and ‘Wetten Daß.. ?’ was like a family ritual. A time between sirens exercise, school on Saturdays and Burt Reynold’s moustache. Softball, Rubik's Cube, Hansi Müller, the first sunlight on the first day of summer holidays and the rattling noise of the blinds being pulled up …a symphony you never ever forget!“

With the release of their first single ‘You And Me’, the FARMER BOYS made a sensational comeback. Additional to the already absolved appearances of the band at the Summer Breeze and Turock Open Air, the FARMER BOYS will play eleven headline shows in Germany from November 26th. until December 15th.
In 2017, the Swabian power group returned to the scene with founding members Matthias Sayer (vocals), Alex Scholpp (guitar) and Ralf Botzenhart (bass) as well as with their two new members Timm Schreiner (drums) and Richard Düe (keyboard) – achieving sold out concert venues and making an impact on new and old fans alike. They swiftly signed with Nuclear Blast sublabel Arising Empire. In 2018, the FARMER BOYS will make a full throttled return; taking to the stage again and releasing their new album »Born Again« – to make this year one of the most successful of their career.
Beginning in the 90s, the band re-wrote international music history and even today, the FARMER BOYS can‘t be pigeonholed. They present their explosive mix with a chunky and unique sound. The largest festivals, major labels, Vans Warped Tour through the USA, shows with RAMMSTEIN, DEFTONES and METALLICA… the first announcement expressing the return of the FARMER BOYS was followed by a tremendous response, which has blown the band away; “After a lot of hard work in the studio, the album »Born Again« is finally finished and we can not wait to play it live! Our shows will include new songs as well as all our old hits”, guitarist Alex smiles: Here comes the pain!
