Over 500 live shows still haven't satisfied our hunger, so we constantly -> check out our page: www.stepfather-fred.de
We stand for unadulterated rock and metal music - without clicks, without filters, without players and without autotune. We are all about four guys who make music together on stage to infect everyone with our energy, dedication and joy in what we do.
Originally started as a school band in 2007, we have had an impressive journey since then. After our first EP and local gigs, things really took off in 2009 with a competition at the Southside Festival. Tours and support shows followed with big names like Emil Bulls, Pro Pain, Biohazard and Hämatom, to name just a few. We are known for playing every stage that comes our way and for uncompromisingly pushing the band forward. Since our debut album “Raise our Flag” In 2011 we released four more longplayers and played more than 550 concerts at festivals, support tours and our own headlining tours.
Only the Corona pandemic could stop our hunger for concerts. However, we did not let ourselves be discouraged and used this time to devote ourselves to songwriting, which may have been neglected before due to our high live presence. We presented the result of this creative phase in October 2021: "Like the Sea – constantly moving, constantly drowning” – our most mature, versatile and grown-up album. As soon as the pandemic allowed, we started our most successful tour to date with the new album. In parallel, work on the next album is almost finished and we plan to release it in October 2024.
We – that’s Basti, Matze Julius and Simon – are looking forward to what’s to come and invite everyone to be a part of Stepfather Fred!
