Founded in 2002 in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, German-language pop/rock band Herbstrock, featuring Anna Müller (vocals, guitar), Sebastian Vogt (drums), Mathias "Duff" Dajeff (bass), and Thomas Eckhart (guitar), are stylistically indebted to canonical alternative rock bands of the 1990s. They cite the German bands Die Sterne and Tocotronic as key influences; musically, they're reminiscent of the American bands Throwing Muses, Belly, and Velocity Girl. In 2007 the band benefited from valuable exposure via Anna & Du, a downloadable situation comedy viewable on handheld electronic devices, and the band's debut single, "1-2-3," peaked at number 26 on the Austrian singles chart. Released in February 2008, their debut full-length album, Ende:gut, became a Top 40 hit on the Austrian albums chart. ~ Jason Birchmeier
