Biography
The band was founded in 2021 by the charismatic singer-songwriter Marco Lässig. Their initial goal of recording their own songs was to make no real progress in their makeshift studio. They lacked the right sound, a proper band, and a professional recording studio. The existing material was simply too good, so they decided to completely revamp the project and approach it properly. Together with Daniel Zimmermann, they searched specifically for suitable musicians and soon found what they were looking for.
What began as a personal turning point became a shared journey: in the rehearsal room on Zurich's Langstrasse, things clicked immediately, both musically and personally. A creative group emerged that harmonized on both a personal and musical level and found an outstanding, professional lineup in the band.
In 2022, the band released their first self-produced debut album.
“MILES AWAY” achieved immediate airplay success. In 2024, their second album, “STORY TO TELL,” followed, further refining the band's distinctive sound and also achieving airplay status with several songs.
