Unerhört

About the band

With relatable lyrics, captivating melodies and plenty of energy, Unerhört has become a firm fixture in the local Austropop scene. Founded in 2020 in Hainburg an der Donau, they released their first single “Merci”.

In 2023, the band gained wider attention in the Austrian music scene with their first EP Charmant Arrogant. Highlights of their career so far include a sold-out solo show in the Stadthalle Bruck an der Leitha, reaching the final of Austria’s biggest band contest – the Planet Festival Tour – at the Gasometer Wien, and support slots for big names such as Wiener Wahnsinn, Tina Naderer and Boris Bukowski. These successes mark important milestones on their journey.

Musical style and themes

Their themes are diverse: sometimes entertaining, sometimes biographical and taken straight from life. Each of their songs contains a piece of personal experience, wrapped in humour and irony. Their music offers an exciting mix of rock and everyday stories that immediately appeal to listeners.

Live performances and energy

They are best known for one thing: a unique show! With a lot of self-irony and almost cabaret-like interludes, their performances are characterised by intense interaction and a deep connection with the audience. This is rounded off by an energetic and passionate performance that is second to none.
