The Swiss rockers from Sideburn certainly know the recipe for rock’n’roll, and it’s no coincidence that they’ve impressed enough people in Hollywood to manage to place several of their tracks in trailers for films, movies and series.
- 20 Century Fox Studios: 24 Hours (starring Kiether Sutherland) / Season 8 – title ”Six Feet Under
- Open Road Films : ”Hit & Run” (with Bradley Cooper) – title ”Knockin at the wrong door” trailer
- 20th Century Fox Studios: ”The Wolverine” (starring Hugh Jackmann) – title ”Six feet under”, etc…
But their main territory remains the stage, having played with some of the industry’s biggest bands such as: Kiss, Motörhead, Def Leppard, Gotthard, Airbourne, Dio, Krokus, Ted Nugent, Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Rose Tattoo, Doro, Y&T, Slade & more…., as well as some fifteen concerts at the legendary Z7 venue in Pratteln and an extensive festival roster.
In 2012, Adidas hired them to compose the anthem “Rockstar” and provide musical accompaniment for the Adidas Rockstar climbers throughout the event, performing for over 3 hours at Stuttgart’s Porsche Arena!
Summer 2014 sees Australia’s new hard rock masters Airbourne promote their album”Electrify” on their Facebook page, and bandleader Joel O’Keeffe joins them at Guitare en Scène for a magical jam of AC/DC standard “T.N.T.”
On June 10, 2022, they release their 9th album “Fired up”, co-produced and mixed by Dennis Ward (Krokus,Angra,Tesla…), on the German label Massacre Records, and this year celebrate their 25th anniversary and entry into the Swiss charts at #77.
Early 2023, due to a move, sees the departure of Mikael Riffart (guitarist since 2011), who is replaced by the very young and talented French guitarist Wil Remond (United Guitars, 58 Shots, winner of the National de Talents Guitare 2022 competition…).
In April 2023, the band re-recorded 6 tracks from their backcatalogue, as well as a previously unreleased track with Dennis Ward once again behind the desk, those songs will appear on a double cd Best of called “Loaded” which will be released early 2025. Note that artist like Nic Maeder & Leo Leoni (Gotthard) will appear on some of those re-recorded songs.
