Here We Stand

Here We Stand are a Rock Band from Münster, Germany. Since late 2015 the power trio have been rocking local, and in 2017 even international, stages.

"We are rollin’ again, and it feels the same."
– from "Rollin’ Again" (2015)

Formed in the summer of 2015 Here We Stand showcased new material supporting the Asian folkmetalheads "Nine Treasures" the following winter.

Most of 2016 was spent writing and recording their first EP "Ways". For late summer 2017 the band has gone all out with a headliner-worthy set, playing their first dates in China.

In the following years the band again focused on writing and recording new material, which resulted in the "Beyond" EP in august 2019 featuring six new tracks. During the pandemic and as a consequence the lack of gigs they continued their writing se (...)

"Here we stand and here we fall, history won't care at all."

The rhythm section, consisting of Golo Meierhenrich (Bass) and Kai Hölscher (Drums), honed their skills over 25 years together in several rock bands. During the full decade, in which their four-strong hard rock band "Ramrod" was alive, Sascha Bregenhorn entered the fold to take up guitar duties. When their singer quit the business, the remaining members decided to start over as a trio, leaving Sascha, the main song writer, as the new frontman.

The name Here We Stand refers to the relentless new start after years of rocking out together – and obviously to the first line of Queen’s "Hammer To Fall".

To enrich the well-proven Rock Sound, the band occasionally integrates spherical Synthesizer elements into the songs. Influenced by bands such as Rush and Thirty Seconds To Mars, Golo and Sascha additionally play the keyboards live. Furthermore, Kai and Golo are not only responsible for the background vocals, but take over lead vocals on a few songs.

"The multi-instrumental line-up offers opportunities we didn't have before. It’s pretty obvious in the songwriting process, since there are always a lot more ideas at hand than we could channel into songs."
– Sascha

In late 2017 this concept has been taken on the road. The main eye catcher was a mini tour through China in September / October 2017 alongside their fellow local heroes "The Ignition". The trip took Here We Stand to the most renowned live clubs in Shanghai, Beijing and Wuhan.

The band simply classifies their music as "Rock". Given that this is a wide area, which invites the "sounds like?" question, here’s a rock-solid statement: Weniger anzeigen
