Cooking up an incendiary mix of rap and indie-rock spiced with sprechgesang, German band Kraftklub formed in Chemnitz, Saxony at the end of 2009 and released their first EP Adonis Maximus the following year. The group, comprising school friends Felix Brummer, Karl Schumann, Till Brummer, Steffen Israel (Steffen Thiede), and Max Marschk, picked up the prestigious New Music Award that year and signed to the major label Universal Domestic Rock/Vertigo Berlin. In the summer of 2011, they released their debut single "Zu Jung" and their debut album Mit K followed in 2012, reaching number one in the band's native Germany. They carried this success over to their second album In Schwarz, which was released in 2014 and also shot to the top of the German chart, while their third studio album Keine Nacht für Niemand (2017) hit number one in Germany as well as number two in Austria and number seven in Switzerland. Five years later, Kraftklub made a comeback with their fourth LP, KARGO.
