Biography
The band formed in 2009 while Felix Brummer (vocals), Karl Schumann (guitar, vocals), Steffen Israel (guitar), Till Brummer (bass) and Max Marschk (drums) were still in school in Chemnitz, Germany. In August 2009 the group released their first single, “Zu Jung,” and in February 2010 they released their first EP entitled “Adonis Maximus.” Later that year they were awarded the New Music Award from ARD Radio Station. All of the attention also made it’s way to various record labels, and in January 2011 they signed a deal with Universal Domestic Rock/ Vertigo Berlin.
In 2011 the band came in fifth place in the Bundesvision Song Contest with their song “Ich will nicht nach Berlin.” Immediately after they released the song, which reached number 45 on the German Media Control Charts. In January 2012 Kraftklub released their debut album “Mit K” and it went straight to number one. Later that year they played their first gig outside of their home country of Germany, in "La Puerta Grande" Bar in Bogotá, Spain. While touring the band have played with various bands including Beatsteaks, Fettes Brot and Casper, and the band have been known for performing with a trademark look of poloshirts, varsity jackets and suspenders. In 2014 the band released another album entitled “In Schwarz.”
Live reviews
I do not understand German, and I definitely do not know what Sprechgesang is (it is basically spoken singing), but I do know that I really enjoyed watching the live performance that Kraftklub gives their fans. The five-piece band consists of Felix Brummer as the vocalist, Karl Schumann on guitar, as well as vocals, Steffen Israel on guitar, Till Brummer on bass and Max Marschik as their drummer.
The band has a uniqueness to it that is magnified during their live sets. Dressed entirely in black, complete with a black snow ski mask, they take to the stage and immediately start their performance. As soon as the vocals come in, they have people, dressed in exactly the same manner, with a flag that has their band’s symbol and wave it around. It is essentially a call to arms with their fans, because when you look into the crowd, there are tons of people with flags of all sizes being waved around as well. In between songs they address the crowd like they are their followers, similar to a cult but instead it is a group of people uniting under the same love and passion in the music that Kraftklub makes.

Richtig geiles Konzert Hammer Show bisschen trägere Masse an Menschen vielleicht weil sie alle noch ein bisschen jung sind und vielleicht weil die Musik zum pogen nicht ganz so perfekt ist aber das gesamt Paket war schon echt super tolle Band tolle Show super.
Achso Florian schade das du nicht dabei warst aber Felix hat dich ja Gott sei dank angerufen mit ein paar tausen anderen Leuten :D
The so called Klubtour event in Zurich was unreal!!! It was hot, loud and sooo much fun! The band still looks like they love what they're doing and the audience was singing along to every single song. I've been to a lot a of shows, but this was def one of the best shows ever!!! Kraftklub are awesome!!! Can't wait for their tour in February 2015

Kraftklub are crazy and sure know how to play an awesome gig! The crowd was moshing right from the start, and as Felix proudly informed us, about half way through the set the temperature was already 28C and the humidity was at 82%!!! They played some cracking tunes and got everybody super hyped up. Incredible gig and I'd love to see them again.

Geniales Konzert! Wahrlich Eines der besten Konzerte, die ich bisher besuchen durfte. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich zuvor eher skeptisch war.
Ich war mit einigen Freunden da und habe mich eher überreden lassen mitzugehen. Hat mich jedoch überzeugt. Immer wieder gerne! Top Jungs!

Ohne Worte!! Die Stimmung war einfach nur genial - kann ich nur empfehlen selbst wenn man sie noch nie gehört hat, weil live sind sie einfach unschlagbar. Summe immer noch die Lieder
