Kettcar is a celebrated indie rock band hailing from Hamburg, Germany. Their origins trace back to the year 2001, when the group was formed by former members of the punk band ...But Alive, notably lead singer and guitarist Marcus Wiebusch and Reimer Bustorff, who plays bass for the band. Kettcar quickly established themselves in the vibrant German music scene with their mix of melodic indie rock and deeply thoughtful, often narrative-rich, lyrics that resonate with soul-baring authenticity.

The band's discography is a reflection of their ability to evolve while maintaining a loyal fan base. With albums like "Du und wieviel von deinen Freunden" and "Von Spatzen und Tauben, Dächern und Händen," they've carved out a niche with their distinctive sound and introspective storytelling. In their more recent releases, such as "Mindestens in 1000 Jahren" from 2023, and the live records "...und das geht so (Live)" and "Deiche (Live)," Kettcar continues their tradition of creating music that is both emotionally potent and sonically expansive. Collaborative tracks like "Scheine in den Graben," which features a diverse mix of artists, including Schorsch Kamerun and Bela B, highlight their penchant for creative camaraderie. With songs like "Benzin Und Kartoffelchips" and "Ich vs. Wir," the band delves into contemporary social and personal issues, all while maintaining the poetic quality that has become a hallmark of their songwriting. Kettcar remains a powerful force in the German music scene, known for their earnest storytelling and compelling live performances.
