Front Row Warriors

Front Row Warriors is a melodic metal and 80s hard rock band from southern Germany, founded in 2019. Known for blending driving up-tempo tracks with catchy sing-along hooks, they infuse their sound with elements of AOR and melodic metal. The band features the distinctive vocals of Elkie Gee, whose remarkable range and unique timbre set them apart. Their debut album, *Wheel of Fortune* (2023), was highly praised and even won the German Rock and Pop Musicians Association's "Hard Rock Album of the Year 2023".

The members are seasoned veterans of the scene, including guitarists Sorin Badin (ex-Samsara) and Stef Binnig-Gollub (Septagon), keyboardist Richie Seibel (also in Ivanhoe and Them), bassist Timo Michels (ex-Pump), and drummer Jay G. (ex-Sharon). In 2024, Dominik Barth (ex-Illusoria) replaced Sorin Badin on guitar. Front Row Warriors have shared stages with big names like Treat and Vicious Rumors, and they released their second album, *Running Out of Time*, in July 2025, with singles such as “Turn the Tide” showcasing their energetic style.
