The rock band LICK AND A PROMISE began in the summer of 2005 in the vicinity of Frankfurt, Germany. After struggling with a few producers over artistic preferences, Manuel Elsesser (g) and Jochen W. Thoma (voc) decided to take fate in their own hands and worked together to produce their debut album "A Bitch Is A Bitch". Recruiting a local drummer and bass player, the group was complete - right on time for the upcoming recording sessions in early 2006. The resulting work, with the diverse styles of the band members, proved to be a musical success.
