German hard rockers Wucan sign with Long Branch Records

Up-and-coming German hard rock band Wucan have signed a worldwide record deal with the SPV label Long Branch Records. The quartet from Dresden recently entered the German album charts for the first time in their career with their latest album “Heretic Tongue”, followed by impressive performances at numerous European festivals.

“With Wucan we expand our artist roster with a highly motivated and promising group that knows how to win you over, especially live,” comments Long Branch Records label manager Manuel Schönfeld. “Wucan innovatively merge the most diverse rock genres and combine a legendary sound with today’s time.”

Wucan manager Karl Walterbach adds:

“With Long Branch Records / SPV, Wucan has now found a label partner that is perfectly positioned internationally. This allows us to make optimal use of the global networks of our booking agent MAD Tourbooking/Berlin. The first result will be a small UK tour in October 2023. We are looking forward to the upcoming cooperation.”

Wucan break up ossified genre conventions. They develop something new with creativity on the basis of a rock tradition that has its origins in the late 1960s – and yet the band deliver something far beyond an Anglo-American musical heritage, leaning into the rock history of East Germany. Who after all remembers East German hard rockers like Babylon, Berluc or Blitzz? It is these names that Wucan pay homage to, and with bandleader Francis Tobolsky, deliver one of the best new spirits in the German rock scene.

Wucan will bring their energetic live show back to the stage in September and October. After the four-piece present themselves in their hometown of Dresden on September 21, the band will head to the UK for the first time to perform in London, Glasgow and Newcastle Upon Tyne.
