Staubkind is a German rock band from Berlin, founded in 2004 by Sven Louis Manke (guitarist of Terminal Choice). Initially, Staubkind was a gothic rock act with a similar sound to other German bands like Zeraphine and Dreadful Shadows. [1] Since the release of their third album Staubkind in 2012, their sound has become more Unheilig-oriented, incorporating pop rock, indie and modern Schlager music to their sound. All of their lyrics are written in German.
