The band has officially released five studio albums: Backstage mit Freunden in 2009 and Wut im Bauch, Trauer im Herzen a year later — both released via Diffidati Records —, Scheitern & Verstehen in 2012, Bleiben oder Gehen in 2015 and Sturm & Dreck in 2018 via Audiolith Records. The 2015 released fourth studio album peaked at no. 21 in the German Albums Charts. Sturm & Dreck reached no. 3 in German Albums Charts, no. 12 in the Austrian Albums Charts and no. 30 in the Swiss Albums Charts.
In 2009 the Landeskriminalamt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania State Criminal Police Office) filed a lawsuit before the German federal censorship agency (officially the Federal Department for the Protection of Children and Young People in the Media ) against the band arguing the song Staatsgewalt ("Authority of the State") released on their debut record Backstage mit Freunden for potential violent content. The lawsuit was later dismissed. [1] Two years later the band was mentioned in the Verfassungsschutzbericht of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for having an explicit anti-state attitude. [2] The band was featured in the Verfassungsschutzbericht again a year later. [3] [4]
Feine Sahne Fischfilet played at major music festivals like Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Hurricane Festival, Southside and Vainstream Rockfest. [5] [6] [7] As a reaction of the protests in Chemnitz the band took part at the free-for-all concert under the moniker #WirSindMehr alongside Die Toten Hosen, Kraftklub, Marteria, Casper and K.I.Z against hate and racism. German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier shared a posting about this concert on his social media and got criticized for supporting left extremists in content of the participation of Feine Sahne Fischfilet.
