history

Initially founded by singer and guitarist Erik Heise and drummer Tore Knipping, who had previously made music together in various projects, the line-up with bassist Tilman Kettner was completed in the same year.

Their first EP Skinwalker , which was recorded as a duo, was released in 2016 on the Berlin indie label Crazysane Records .

After a few concerts in Germany and Switzerland , the band was nominated for the Anchor Award of the Reeperbahn Festival in 2017 .

In the summer of 2018, their debut album Chlorine was released , which was mostly positively discussed by the press, especially with regard to the international sounding of the band.

“[Pabst show] that they can write great songs away from uptempo. And by no means just sounding like another English-speaking band from Germany. "

- Plattentests.de

"It should go to hell if this trio doesn't soon gain international attention."

- intro

"Chlorine is the perfect plate for a summer that is not in the picture book."

- Visions

This was followed by a first headline tour through Germany, as well as a joint tour with the Berlin band Odd Couple in 2019 .

In 2018 and 2019 the band played support shows for Drangsal , Bob Mold , Shonen Knife , Leoniden and Kadavar , as well as many festivals, especially in Germany and neighboring countries. In December 2019, Pabst played, at the invitation of rapper Casper , at his Back Home Festival . In total, the band can book well over 100 concerts so far.

On June 19, 2020 the band released their second album DEUCE EX MACHINA on the label Ketchup Tracks , which was founded especially for this purpose . The album was produced by Moses Schneider . Nadine Schmidt from krachfink.de describes the album as one that “can easily be called in the same breath as BEATSTEAKS '“ Smack Smash ”or NIRVANA's “ Nevermind ””.
