Wayford West

Blending a love of vintage Rock And Roll music and cinematic storytelling, WAYFORD WEST create euphoric and melodic guitar anthems in their very own style. The band’s music is shaped by a diverse range of influences, drawing heavily from the sounds of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
Coming from Fulda, a small town in Germany, WAYFORD WEST began as a studio project in 2022. Their first EP, ‘The Berlin Tapes’, was recorded in Berlin, with tracks such as the singles ‘Fellows’ and ‘Campfire’. The band returned to the studio, this time recording at JB Studios near Bonn in western Germany. The result was the EP ‘The Rangeland Sessions’, which featured tracks like ‘Streets of Deadwood’ and ‘Black Mountain Blues’.
Alongside their studio projects, the band has also presented their music live in an acoustic format, performing under the program title ‘The Good, The Mad, And The Unplugged’. By the summer of 2024, the band’s lineup was completed with Maximilian Schmidt (vocals, guitar), Florin Pfeffermann (bass, vocals), and Julian Müller (drums).
Looking ahead, the singles “Whitewall Tires” and “Genuine Hickory” offer an enticing glimpse of their debut album "In Search Of The Blue Moon", set for release in June 2025.
