History
The band was founded on the German island of
Föhr where the four core members live. Already prior to the band's formation, brothers Alexander and Konstantin Rethwisch spent years inLos Angeles working closely together with a producer of film music. This is one of several reasons for the band's American style of music.The name Stanfour was also created in the USA, when the four musicians frequented a café. On Konstantin's cup was written "Stan" (abbreviation of his name). After a conversation with the waitress, the latter suggested Stanfour as a band name and as the group did not have a name at the time, they accepted it and have since kept the name Stanfour.
In September 2007 they released their debut single "Do it all" which entered the German charts on rank 46. Their second single "For all Lovers" was chosen as theme song for the
Sat. 1 TV show "Nur die Liebe zählt" and stayed in the German charts for 18 weeks. The third single is called "Desperate". Their first album "Wild Life" was released on 29 February 2008. It was mainly recorded inStockholm ,Sweden , and in the band's studio on Föhr, but also in Los Angeles.Stanfour toured with
John Fogerty and theBackstreet Boys and played on shows withBryan Adams ,Daughtry andOneRepublic . In September 2008 a club tour is planned in Germany.Discography
