Editor's note

Kettcar, Hamburg's melodic indie rock storytellers.

A German trio whose songs mix melody with quietly introspective lyrics.

For their sound, try 'Ich Danke Der Academy'. For their quieter side, 'Am Tisch' works.

Kettcar's music has soundtracked a certain German indie experience for over two decades. A song like 'Ich Danke Der Academy' captures their knack for wrapping thoughtful observations in a catchy, guitar-driven package. They've built a catalog that feels like a conversation with a friend who notices the small things.

They started in Hamburg in 1998 with Marcus Wiebusch, Reimer Bustorff, and Christian Hake. Early albums like 'Papierkrieg' set their place, and they've kept putting out records, from 'Sylt' in 2008 to 'Der süße Duft des Widerspruchs' in 2019.

Archive material and source history

Kettcar formed in Hamburg in 1998 with Marcus Wiebusch on vocals and guitar, Reimer Bustorff on bass and vocals, and Christian Hake on drums. Their early albums like 'Papierkrieg' and 'Von Spatzen und Tauben, Dächern und Händen' established them in Germany's indie rock scene.

In 2003, their album 'Du und wieviel von deinen Freunden' drew criticism for how it depicted women, though the band defended the work as reflecting relationship realities. They kept releasing records through the 2000s and 2010s, including 'Sylt' in 2008 and 'Zwischen den Runden' in 2012.

Songs like 'Ich Danke Der Academy' and 'Am Tisch' show their style, melodic, with lyrics that lean introspective. They put out 'Der süße Duft des Widerspruchs' in 2019.
