New album “Timeless Elements” – release January 2027
“Timeless Music” in the SCHOS logo connects the album line. It starts with “Timeless Season” and “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and “Winter”. “Timeless Elements” carries that thought forward through “Fire”, “Earth”, “Water” and “Air”.
The key tracks “Fire”, “Earth”, “Water” and “Air” bring together American rock, West Coast rock, Southern rock, Texas rock, blues rock, blues and ballads in one album concept. “Earth” has been released; “Water” and “Fire” will be released in advance; “Air” remains the focus track for the album release.
Recorded by real musicians across three countries and produced in Georg “Schos” Riedl’s studio in Simbach am Inn.
SCHOS videos reach almost one million views on YouTube and Facebook combined.
Band & Musicians
SCHOS: handcrafted rock with an international line-up
SCHOS is the project of Georg “Schos” Riedl. He writes the songs and is responsible for production, mixing and mastering at his studio in Simbach am Inn. The recordings are made with real musicians from Germany, Austria and the USA.
SCHOS songs move between American rock, West Coast rock, Southern rock, Texas rock, blues rock, blues and ballads: original songs, made for a band setting and produced without copying the old classics.
The current line-up includes Paul Simmons (drums; Tom Keifer, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley), Mark Corradetti (bass; Berklee, New York/Nashville, AFM, NAMM/PreSonus), Clint Wells (guitars; Morgan Wade), Chris Mouch (vocals/guitar; Dave Matthews Band support act, Nashville/Los Angeles), Ursula Gerstbach (vocals/arrangements; Wolfgang Ambros) and LeeLoo (vocals; Berklee/USA).
The earlier album project “Curious Times” was produced with Oneida James-Rebeccu and Norbert Fimpel from Joe Cocker’s last touring band. This collaboration is part of SCHOS’s production history; neither is a member of the current line-up.
