Looking back on a more than 30-year long career, GOTTHARD still remain relevant: TV appearances at “Sing meinen Song - Das Schweizer Tauschkonzert,” all-embracing media presence around the globe, and especially their chart-storming new album Stereo Crush keep the band in the talks. After fans received the three previously released singles "Boom Boom," "Thunder & Lightning" and "Rusty Rose" with open arms, there seems to be yet another track on the album which has entered their hearts right away. Closing in on the mentioned tracks, most notably on streaming platforms, is "Burning Bridges," and that’s why GOTTHARD are even more pleased to present a music video for this evident new fan favourite today.
Vocalist Nic Maeder, who also wrote the song, comments: “This track is about the thrill of non-conformity and the moment you walk away from what’s expected of you: because freedom tastes better than approval. Don’t play it safe, move on and burn the bridge to a new world after crossing it. ‘Burning Bridges’ is dedicated to all those who don’t fit in - and don’t want to!”

With their latest offering Stereo Crush, GOTTHARD reached the top of the official album chart for the 17th time (and for the 13th time in a row!) in their home country Switzerland.
Guitarist Leo Leoni states: “We’re absolutely thrilled! This is our 17th album hitting #1 in Switzerland! Trends fade, but rock never dies. Thanks to our fans, some of whom have been supporting is for over 30 years! Let’s keep on rocking!”
“This album has become so special because of YOU - our amazing fans who love our music! Your incredible support has once again taken us to the top of the charts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” adds Maeder.
The band’s Austrian (#7) and German (#11) fan bases also gave them plenty of reason to celebrate in recent days.
GOTTHARD will present Stereo Crush live on stage from May 20 on: Mainly leading them to Germany, Austria and - of course - Switzerland, but stops in Italy (Alcatraz, Milan), Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival, Sölvesborg), and Spain (Z! Live Rock, Zamora) are also part of the upcoming routing. All dates and ticket info can be found below!
