Benzin

Benzin was a German rock band from the Ulm area, formed in Asch in 1996. Originally called Uncle Benz, the group changed its name after facing legal action from Mars Inc. USA. Before adopting Benzin, the members recorded the VfB Stuttgart fan anthem “Stuttgart ist eins” as Sternsurfer and joined the Pop Academy Baden-Württemberg’s band pool. Benzin released its debut album, Soundtrack für dein Wochenende, in 2006, followed by Auf los geht's los (2008) and Streichholzschachtelmasterplan (2010). Their 2012 album, Chor der Kaputten, reached number 9 on the German Alternative Charts. The band released singles including “Schutt und Asche” before announcing their breakup in 2015 and performing farewell concerts.
