8 Essential German Artists Who Aren't Rammstein

5. Jennifer Rostock

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4MgMbujv1U Jennifer Rostock is one of the most unique bands on this list, combining electropop, glam rock, punk rock, and rap into what a Wikipedia vandal once deemed as "Paramore on meth." This tattooed-up, female-fronted band resides in Berlin has released four full-length albums since their inception in 2007, all through Warner Music. Their most recent album "Schlaflos" was released earlier this year, reaching number two on the German music charts. It is a little exhausting just listening to this band, as with all their energy and speed lead vocalist Jennifer Weist is a very powerful and unique frontwoman, covered nearly head-to-toe in tattoos, delivering many different styles of vocals in just one song. A typical track may start off with calm singing over just a guitar, then go into a rapped verse, then to a singalong pop-punk chorus. It's elements like this that make Jennifer Rostock so unique and memorable and will keep them on repeat until we receive a new album. Recommended if you like: Paramore, Icon For Hire, Tonight Alive
