Herz & Verstand



Kärbholz is one of the most successful German-speaking rock bands of the last 10 years. Since their foundation in 2003, the four guys from the tranquil Ruppichteroth (a small town near Cologne) have managed to continuously raise their level of popularity. The logical consequence was regular chart successes in the past years. With the change to Metalville Records and the album Karma in 2015, position #7 made it into the German Top Ten for the first time. With the long-player Überdosis Leben, released in 2017, they even just missed the pole position of the official charts in Germany with #2. The following album Herz & Verstand, released in 2019, reached #3. The music of Kärbholz contains influences from rock, punk, and indie. The musicians themselves as well as the fans call their sound full-throttle rock ‘n’ roll. Over the years, the band has also gained a reputation as a rousing live act whose straightforward, charismatic, and raw sound full of emotion inspires a wide audience – a circumstance that regularly leads to sold-out tours in their home country. Since 2006, Kärbholz have been organizing their own open-air festival called Heimspiel (English: “Home game”). What began with 50 fans and friends has developed over time into a nationally known two-day event with several thousand visitors. Read more on Last.fm.
