RUSHMOON was founded in 1996 by permanent members Alexander Steiger (git) and Christian Binder (voc). The first current member to join the band was guitar player Dieter Weilert. The first big success was reaching the finals of the "Deutscher Rock – und Poppreis" in Kassel and the „Bayerischer Rock – und Poppreis" in Gerolzhofen in 1997.
When drummer Volker Rößener joined, the band was eagerly touring all over Germany and working on their first Rushmoon-labelled longplayer "KEEP AN EYE" in 2001. In 2003 followed the EP "BLOOD, TEARS, LOVE & HATE...". This was the time the band decided to turn down several offers from the industry as they wanted complete artistic independence from outer influences.
After many successful tours and participations in band contests the band published their third CD "KILL YOUR LOVERS..." in January 2008 which was also presented live outside Germany - as Rushmoon played supporting gigs of Tito &Tarantula and Shakra. As the bass player quit the band in late 2009, the Rushmoon train came to a sudden stop and it took about two years before they'd found replacement who was presented together with the new album "CANDYMAN" in 2011. But this relationship didn't hold for too long and so the bass player's position had to be newly manned in 2014. It was pure luck that old friend and favorite candidate for years (he'd turned down the offer before for family reasons) Stefan Becker finally joined the band and completed the pack.
With this new line-up which feels like the perfect one the band that has always been manic about performing live was eagerly touring, playing with Orphaned Land, Gurd, China, Voivod and other great metal bands over the past few years. And they were writing new songs with a new spirit which have now been released on Rushmoon's fifth studio album "BRUTIFUL LIES" in 2017.
But this train won't stop as Rushmoon are currently overflowing with creativity - and hunger for live performances.
