A slow-motion rush is probably the best way to describe Since11: songs that move forward, stick around, and still have enough rough edges to never feel generic. Four voices, guitars, synths, drums, and a certain appetite for losing control. The result is indie rock with a pop instinct and a live energy shaped by years of sweaty stages.
More than 1,000 shows have given Since11 a confidence you can hear: no sterile perfection, but spontaneity, momentum, and a real connection with the crowd. Support slots for acts like Sawyer Hill and Paul Gilbert, international radio airplay, and Spotify Editorial Playlist placements are all part of a band story that is only just gaining momentum.
It all began in 2011 in the South Tyrolean Alps, when Claus Stecher and Philipp Trojer set out as an acoustic duo with two guitars, two voices, and a lot of persistence. From bars, pubs, street-music moments, and countless years on stage, the band gradually found a language of its own.
Home From Holidays marked the start of their own songwriting journey in 2022; Kinky Universe, Random Trouble sharpened their sound between indie, pop, and groove in 2024; and with the April 2026 EP Lara, Since11 bring together their clearest evolution so far.
In 2026, Since11 take the stage for the first time as a fixed four-piece, with Federico Groff on drums and Simon Gamper on bass. The sound is not just bigger now, it is less tame: more drive, more friction, more room for spontaneous eruptions. Since11 remain a band that does not simply play it safe with their songs, but puts them on the line every time they step on stage.
