Biography

Berlin-based rock punk band Jennifer Rostock were formed in 2007 and first came to the attention of German rock fans after making an appearance on the influential German TV talent show 'The Bundesvision Song Contest'. The band were formed by vocalist Jennifer Weist and keyboard player Johannes Walter. Weist and Walter's relationship actually dates back to kindergarten and when they became teenagers they began playing music together eventually forming their first band Aerials. After finishing high school and moving to Berlin the two friends formed what was to become Jennifer Rostock. The name originated from notes addressed to them at the Berlin recording studios where they were working on some material. The studio staff weren't sure of the band's name and so they simply referred to them by Weist's first name and Rostrock which happens to be a town close to where Weist and Walter grew up. Since their appearance on 'The Bundesvision Song Contest', the band have recorded eight albums, four of which have made it to the top five in the German charts. Their musical style falls into a specifically German genre known as Neue Deutsche Welle which is the term given to a distinctive sound combining punk influenced rock with electronic influences.
