Swiss hard rock legends Gotthard celebrate the release of their brand-new mini album “More Stereo Crush”, out now via RPM. The eight-track release expands on the band’s acclaimed 2025 album “Stereo Crush” and offers fans a deeper look into the creative sessions behind the record.

“More Stereo Crush” features five previously unreleased songs from the “Stereo Crush” recordings, alongside the track “Mayday,” which had previously only been available as a video. The EP also includes a radio edit of the ballad “Burning Bridges” and a brand-new duet version of the fan favorite “Liverpool,” performed by vocalist Nic Maeder together with Marc Storace of Krokus.


Produced by Charlie Bauerfeind and Leo Leoni, mastered by Sascha “Busy” Bühren, and featuring artwork by Manuel Schütz and Thomas Ewerhard, the EP once again highlights the band’s signature blend of melodic hooks, powerful vocals, and rock-solid instrumentation. “More Stereo Crush” is out now and available as an MCD, a limited mini LP, a special CD bundle with “Stereo Crush,” and digitally.





With meanwhile 17 number one albums, a Diamond Award for selling over one million units in Switzerland, and multiple platinum records including their quadruple platinum album “Homerun,” GOTTHARD have an unmatched legacy of successes. It is rounded off by over 3.5 million units sold worldwide and more than 2,000 live performances. Their tracks like ‘Heaven,’ a platinum single, and seven top 10 singles have cemented the band in the international music scene.


Known for their heartfelt songwriting, powerful live shows and unmistakable melodic sound, the band has built a lasting legacy since their breakthrough in the early 1990s. After recently wrapping a European tour with Y&T, a busy festival season and three “Rock Monsters of Switzerland” arena shows alongside Krokus, the band continues to push forward creatively.

Today’s lineup features founding members Leo Leoni and Marc Lynn, joined by Freddy Scherer, Nic Maeder, and drummer Flavio Mezzodi. With multiple songwriters contributing to the creative process and longtime producer Charlie Bauerfeind once again involved, GOTTHARD continue to prove that their passion for hard rock remains as strong as ever.
