history

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The band was founded in 2003. It was originally a quartet . As a band leader, Matthias Schriefl demanded a certain “punk attitude” from his band members. Hanno Busch noted this with "Schriefl-Punk" on his music portfolio. Schriefl's nickname "Shreef" in combination with the lettering on the music portfolio resulted in the band name. From the third appearance of the band, the name is used that way.

“Our guitarist said back then that we play punk. He had initially suggested writing punctuation as a name. But I didn't want to mix English and German, that's why I made Shreefpunk out of it. "
