Editor's note

Echt, the German band that lasted

A German pop-rock act that formed in 1998 and kept going through shifting sounds and personal struggles.

If you want to get a feel for Echt, start with '2010' and maybe 'Alles Wird Sich Aendern.' That gives you the hit and one of the songs people remember.

Their single '2010' became a hit in 2001, with lyrics about a future without conflict that resonated after 9/11. Songs like 'Alles Wird Sich Aendern' and 'Du Trägst Keine Liebe In Dir' stuck with listeners even as critics sometimes dismissed their sentimental side. They were one of those German acts from that period that actually managed to last.

Echt formed in 1998 when Kim Frank and Lars P. Frehse started playing together. Their debut album 'Fantast' came out in 2001, and they kept making music through the 2000s and 2010s with albums like 'Freischwimmer' and 'Sturm und Stille.' Their sound shifted over time, taking in some rock and electronic touches while keeping Frank's vocals at the center.

Echt formed in 1998 when Kim Frank and Lars P. Frehse started playing together in Germany. Their debut album 'Fantast' came out in 2001, and the single '2010' became a hit that year. The song's lyrics about looking toward a future without conflict seemed to connect with people after 9/11.

They kept making music through the 2000s and 2010s, putting out albums like 'Freischwimmer,' 'Alles auf Anfang,' and 'Sturm und Stille.' Their sound shifted over time, taking in some rock and electronic touches while keeping Frank's vocals at the center. Other songs people remember include 'Alles Wird Sich Aendern' and 'Du Trägst Keine Liebe In Dir.'

Frank had some personal difficulties with addiction and depression that became public, and not all critics were kind about the band's sentimental side. But they built a following anyway, with Oliver Thomas on bass and Ralf Gustke on drums rounding out the lineup. They were one of those German acts that managed to last while plenty of others from that period faded.
