Our Journey
The story begins with the meeting of Martin and Jerry in late 2020.
The former moved from Italy at the start of the year, with the dream of finding a rock band in the German capital.
After some months playing with other musicians, finally he meets Jerry in his rehearsal room at the (in)famous Rockhaus in Lichtenberg.
The language barrier is evident, but the passion is there and the two start writing material together ❤️
A couple more months pass before the final drummer joins the band, Levin!
His musicianship and humour will prove fundamental to the band's survival
From there on, the trio embarks on the seemingly impossible quest to find a rock singer, confident that the city-that-never-sleeps will bring them together.
After many difficult castings, at the beginning of 2022
Jelle joins to complete the formation.
Zeit Driver is born
Our first concert back in July 2022!
After the first months of composing material and creating our sound,
we finally hit the studio to record our first single: Warm Heart
We wanted our first single to be accompanied by an official video,
so we contacted our friends Marie & Alex at Polymorphian Resilience to help us bring it to life ✨
Say cheese 📸
After a year of hard work, on December 9th 2022 we finally released Warm Heart, receiving overwhelming positive responses (not just from mum 💖)
The following year,
we finally released our debut EP Minds Unloaded on September 22nd 🎉
Combining the painting skills of our guitarist's father
Torsten Gebhardt,
with the modelling of our friend
Moritz Russ, we created a stunning artwork that you won't easily forget 🤩
To celebrate a successful Release Party, we prepared a live album of the event and 3 music videos, released in April 2024 🎇
In 2024 we wanted to provide our fans with a waterfall of singles,
starting from In Noir, and following up with Youth Forlorn,
2025 saw us busy with the preparation for our debut LP, recorded over a couple of weeks in Summer.
Levin's family was kind enough to provide us with their home, so we set up the drum kit in the living room, the mixer next door, and started blasting rock music in the calm neighbourhood of Kaulsdorf, East Berlin.
We're on track to finalise the mixing soon, for a release planned for Summer 2026.
The road is long, but it will all be worth it 💜
