AnnenMayKantereit is a German rock band from Cologne, formed in 2011. Its three founding members, guitarist Christopher Annen, singer Henning May, and drummer Severin Kantereit, met at school and built the band's name from their surnames. They started out as street musicians in Cologne before growing into one of the most popular acts in the German-speaking world.
The band is best known for Henning May's raw, gravelly voice and their plainspoken, emotionally honest German lyrics. Their 2016 debut album Alles nix Konkretes was a number-one hit in Germany, and the single 'Pocahontas' became one of their signature songs. With little more than guitar, drums, and that unmistakable voice, they turn everyday feelings into anthems that fans sing back word for word.
Max Raabe was born Matthias Otto in Lünen, Germany, in 1962, and trained as a classical baritone before reinventing himself as the singing voice of another era entirely. While studying in Berlin in the mid-1980s, he and a group of fellow students formed the Palast Orchester, building their repertoire out of German dance-hall and cabaret arrangements from the 1920s and 30s that they dug up in flea markets. He still fronts the band today, gliding into a poised falsetto with the deadpan calm of someone who has never once cracked a smile on purpose.
Raabe's version of "Kein Schwein ruft mich an" turned him into a national name in 1992, and he has spent the decades since moving comfortably between his own German-language songs and English standards by Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, playing Carnegie Hall more than once along the way. A songwriting partnership with Annette Humpe produced the platinum album "Küssen kann man nicht alleine" in 2011, and Berlin later awarded him its Order of Merit for the act he built almost by accident as a student.
Eisblume was a pop-rock band from Berlin built around singer Sotiria "Ria" Schenk. Formed in late 2007, the group spent its first year opening shows for Ich + Ich before its own breakthrough arrived in January 2009.

A second album, Ewig, followed in 2012, led by the single "Für immer," before the band split in 2013. Schenk kept making music on her own, releasing the solo album Hallo Leben in 2018.

Peter Brugger, Florian Weber, and Rüdiger Linhof have been playing together since the mid-1990s, when they started out under the name Stiller in Germering, a small town just outside Munich. They picked up the Sportfreunde part once they realized another band already had a claim on the shorter name, and the trio hasn't needed a lineup change since Linhof joined on bass in 1997.
The band's biggest year came in 2006, when their song '54, '74, '90, 2006 became the unofficial anthem of Germany's World Cup summer and shot to number one. Albums like Die gute Seite, Burli, and Sturm & Stille built a catalogue full of the same wry, wordplay-heavy humor that runs through their songwriting, and they're still at it: JEDER NUR EIN X arrived in 2022, nearly three decades after they started out in Germering.
