Bio

Blending a love of vintage Rock And Roll music and cinematic storytelling, WAYFORD WEST create euphoric and melodic guitar anthems in their very own style. The band’s music  is shaped by a diverse range of influences, drawing heavily from the sounds of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.

Coming from Fulda, a small town in Germany, WAYFORD WEST began as a studio project in spring 2021. Their first EP, ‘The Berlin Tapes’, was recorded in Berlin, with its tracks—such as the singles ‘Fellows’ and ‘Campfire’—released in the months that followed. The band returned to the studio in spring 2022, this time recording at JB Studios near Bonn in western Germany. The result was the EP ‘The Rangeland Sessions’, which featured tracks like ‘Streets of Deadwood’ and ‘Black Mountain Blues’.
Alongside their studio projects, the band has also presented their music live in an acoustic format, performing under the program title ‘The Good, The Mad, And The Unplugged’. By the summer of 2024, the band’s lineup was completed with Maximilian Schmidt (vocals, guitar), Florin Pfeffermann (bass, vocals), and Julian Müller (drums).

Looking ahead, the singles ‘Whitewall Tires’ and ‘Long Road to Redemption’ offer an enticing glimpse of their debut album, set for release in 2025.
