The Fornhorst is an old farmhouse in Schleswig-Holstein. Singer and guitarist Normen aka Chappi (Eu!-Krampf, Aside!) lives here.
Like many other ageing punk rockers before him, he wanted to pursue a small solo project with acoustic guitar. Playing a bit of guitar in his favorite pub, singing personal lyrics and getting a free beer or two in return, that was the plan.
Since making music alone is boring in the long run, Normen looked for comrades-in-arms and found Toni (guitar), B.A. (bass) and Dennis (drums).
The four of them play melodic punk rock with biting German lyrics – „punk rock for the heart, brain and hips“, as they say themselves. They also make this clear live, a Fornhorst gig is always a tear-down among friends.
The first EP was released in 2020 under the name „Schneller“. „Soundtrack meines Lebens“ followed in April 2022 and finally the first album „Leben ohne Scheiss“ in 2024, which received very good reactions.
