McOIL got together in 1976 in Ochsenhausen in Oberschwaben. Their musical direction: progressive rock of the harder kind. In 1978 they released their single "Mask of life" / "A better day" as a private pressing in an edition of 500 copies. The following year they played at a rock festival arranged by Radio Luxemburg and Musik Joker and broadcasted by RTL, and they won the second prize. There they drew Dieter Ege's attention to their music and he offered them to record an LP in his Ege-Sound-Studio in Bad Schussenried. "All our hopes" was released in 1979 as a limited private presing of 1000 copies. Now they were without Doris Tischmann who had left the band shortly before. All the songs were originals. Through the years the LP's collectors' price rose up to 228,50 DM according to the German price catalogue. As a bonus track this CD, which is taken from the mastertape, features the B-side of the single, but in a slightly different version, and also a two minute drum solo on "This time should never end" which is not on the LP. In 1980 Andy Tischmann moved to Bullfrog because of his strong bent for long solos and even today he is still playing the drums. He was replaced by Rudolf Scheich, and later they got their second guitarist, Dieter Eisenmann. In 1981 they recorded in Dieter Ege' studio 14 songs unreleased until today, which will be featured on a forthcoming CD of this label. After approximately 200 gigs in their ten years' career McOil finally disbanded in 1986. Walter Utz, Rudolf Scheich and Dieter Eisenmann are nowadays playing with Stinger and released their CD "Hard 'n' heavy" (Schmidt Music Verlag, Calw) by the end of 1992 while Karl Wild and Norbert Kupfahl are not playing anymore. Further details - although not always correct - about McOil and other bands of the mentioned area can be read in Julian Aicher's book "Da lauft was".
