I just wanted to thank you for your service to this planet by never considering any Police albums.

Added an extra hint that might make this one easier.

The band began in 1989 and ended in 2018?

 

[Hemotep]

The band began in 1989 and ended in 2018?

First part confirmed. The 2018 was just on the established picture, haha.

Lotta bands established in 1989. Damn!

 

[Hemotep]

Lotta bands established in 1989. Damn!

After the last two months of clues, I can't make it too easy. But it won't be as hard as those either because I didn't have enough prep time.

I see a few mustaches in that first clue, we getting some mustache rock?

Also these are kids raised by very different parents, are we getting a family band? Brothers and one of cool friends?

Is this The National? Made up of nerdy brothers and an functioning alcoholic frontman? I don't think they started in 1989 though...

Hint the Third:

2. Marx and Engels, socialist thinkers from the 19th century. These statues are located in eastern Berlin.

3. Friedrich Schiller, famous poet from the 18th century. IIRC this statue is standing in Frankfurt.

The first is an Adorno mural, also from Frankfurt

 

[Jan]

So, i think i got it. Bands from Frankfurt founded in 89 brought me to Snap!

 

[avecigrec]

The Notwist, OOMPH! and And One are all German bands established in 1989.

I'm sure there are more, but I've already gone deeper than I probably should pre-coffee and I need to feed the baby!

Hint the Fourth:

 

[Hemotep]

If the first and fourth hints can be solved, you have everything you need to guess the album.

The album for August is:

This is actually the first thing I gravitated towards when I started looking at The Notwist, but talked myself out of your choosing a triple album at first (dunny why my brain does what it does, but it does!).

Can't say I can truly solve hints 1 and 4 all the way through, other than Adam West has played a Superhero; the art was done by Bernd "Senor Burns" Hofmann which is a Simpsons reference, and the band features brothers whose names are close to Archer? Definitely feel like I'm reaching with those though.
