After several live performances, our listeners dubbed it a &ldquo;smash hit,&rdquo; so we headed for the studio in 2025 to record it.</p> <p>Now, in early 2026, we&rsquo;re taking the plunge and releasing &ldquo;Datenbank&rdquo; via the Berlin-based distributor <a href="https://recordjet.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="external-link">RecordJet<span class="external-link-icon" aria-hidden="true">↗</span></a>. We hope you enjoy it!</p> <h2 id="where-can-i-listen-to-datenbank">Where can I listen to &ldquo;Datenbank&rdquo;?</h2> <p>Pretty much anywhere you stream music!

The three musicians from Bremerhaven and Bremen - featuring the classic rock lineup of guitar, drums, and electric bass guitar - weave everyday lyrics together with catchy melodies.</p> <p>Quite a few listeners find themselves involuntarily hitting &ldquo;repeat.&rdquo; And they certainly don&rsquo;t regret it!</p> <h3 id="lineup">Lineup</h3> <ul> <li>Lucas Freund - Guitar and lead vocals</li> <li>Hannes Christen - Drums and backing vocals</li> <li>Lukas Preußer - Bass and backing vocals</li> </ul> <h3 id="thanks-for-the-help">Thanks for the help</h3> <p>We had helping hands behind the scenes. Without them, we never could have released our music so quickly or at such high quality. A big thank you goes to Lennert Röthemeyer for the drum recording, and to Feliks Weber and his <a href="https://www.nocturm-studios.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="external-link">Nocturn Studios<span class="external-link-icon" aria-hidden="true">↗</span></a> for bass recording, mixing, and mastering!</p>
