The sisters Astrid Lang and Ingrid Lang founded the duo Shockwave Riders.

The joining of the two multi-instrumentalists and exceptional singers brought forth a very fruitful cooperation and they turned more and more towards a rather avant-garde kind of folk music.

The superb harmony singing, the delicate and refined arrangements with the perfect blend of guitar and keyboards created a world of sound sometimes powerful, sometimes lyrical and elegiac. With their dinstinctive symbiosis of folky songwriting and modern sound worlds they aroused - so the Folkworld - “abstract pictures of wild beauty and noble elegance".

Subsequently they released 5 CDs which received excellent reviews. Extensive airplay and hundreds of concerts in Germany, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and Switzerland followed.

In 2025 they will be on tour and in may 2025 their best of album "with the best wishes and compliments" will be released.
