History & Biography
Red-backs issued a demo called Fighting For You On Stage in 1983 before changing its monicker. This German hard rock band had two releases before disappearing in 1989. The band members had anglicized their names ostensibly for commercial acceptance. Keep The Change had a sexy cover that still did not facilitate further releases. The debut was produced by Axel Thubeauville.

The band reappeared in 2019. Three members had returned, but guitarist Jörg Jungbluth and bassist Thorsten Bongardt were new. The Return was a 2021 demo. The band played a couple of concerts. Singer Christian "Keule" Haas came and went. 2024 was the year when a new record arrived. Rock 'N' Roll V.I.P. featured a Metallian Towers' serf on its cover. Steve Strater was on vocals, Steven Brandy and Ringin' D. were on guitar, H. Van Noize was on bass and Paul B. Herrmann drummed. The band ended 2024 with a supporting gig for Tyrant Eyes. There were a couple of 2025 gigs.
