Personal Info

Nils Wandrey
Nils was born in 1981, he has been playing the guitar for about 14 years now and changed after 6 years education in concert guitar to electric guitar. In 1995, Nils founded the band with two classmates. He was mainly turned on by rock vocals and terrifying lead guitars, so Nils decided to do both. His trained control on his voice allows him to sing hard and dirty songs, high and clear hard rock tunes and open, musical like, styles in a row. Bands that influenced him most: Scorpions, Dream Theater, Mr. Big, KrunK, Ugly Kid Joe.

Duck Hamann
Duck was born in 1982. After searching his profession for about 2 decades, he finally decided to learn the bass, which he did rapidly. Influenced by bands such as Scorpions, Linkin Park and Crack'n Up's themselves, he learned to play his instrument in a very band supportive way. Duck was working together with Crack'n Up's for years before he finally joined the band as a member.
