Munich isn’t California. Or is it? SCREED play straight 90’s style Punkrock like Pennywise and NOFX formed it back then. Hard guitar riffs meet strong melodies, polyphonic singing driven by fast drum beats – that is SCREED!

Since their formation in 2008 SCREED have released two EPs already: “Indiscreed” (2009) and “Day By Day” (2010). The latter not only was praised by the critics but also by now counts over 4000 downloads after just one year on the band’s website www.screed.de!

Punkrock has to be experienced live and so SCREED are on the road quite often. Thanks to a lot of shows in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and Poland they have made a name for themselves and thus frequently have the chance to share stage with international bands like No Use For A Name, The Adicts, The Meteors and Riverboat Gamblers.

Flo, Stocki, Benni and Mark meet in June 2008. Soon they know the chemistry is right – first songs come up and SCREED is formed. They play their first gig in Munich’s underground club ‘Sunny Red’ in December 2008 already. In the beginning of 2009 other gigs follow and the band record their first EP “Indiscreed”. Due to its release they play more shows and even support the Swedish Band Nemas at several shows in Germany and Austria in the end of the year.

Encouraged by the successful previous year 2010 starts with a self-organized tour. In April the band goes to the studio again to record the EP “Day By Day”. It is finished in the end of May already and is put onto the band’s website as a free download. “Day By Day” with it’s five diversified songs with catchy melodies gets positive feedback throughout. After a successful festival summer in and around Munich the guys start their first tour through Czech Republic and Poland in fall.

Due to examination stress and angry bosses 2011 starts unintentionally quiet. First priority lies in songwriting. Based on numerous festival shows the cornerstone for support shows for Punkrock legends like No Use For A Name, The Adicts and The Meteors is set.

The band’s high-energy debut album is planned to be released in 2012.
Maybe Munich IS a little bit of California.
