The Intersphere - German Prog Rockers "Hold On"

Comedian Norm Macdonald famously posited that “Germans love David Hasselhoff.” While it’s true the former Knight Rider and Baywatch star has an unusually large following in the country that gave the world the Volkswagen, the Mercedes Benz, and bratwurst, Germany also has a thing for progressive rock. One band that falls under that umbrella that’s currently working its way from the German airwaves to US ears is The Intersphere.

Formed in 2006 in a practice room, The Intersphere consists of vocalist/guitarist Christoph Hessler, guitarist Thomas Zipner, bassist Sebastian Wagner, and drummer Moritz Müller. The foursome have played over 350 shows in the past five years and are readying the release of their third full length album, Hold on, Liberty. Hold on, Liberty will be released on Long Branch Records / SPV, giving the band a real opportunity to make some noise in the States.

With The Intersphere poised to take the next big step in their career, I caught up with the group’s bassist to get some more info on their upcoming album, the creepy video they made for the first single off of it, and why you shouldn’t believe everything you read about them.
