Blending the spirit of original Rock And Roll with timeless storytelling, WAYFORD WEST create powerful and melodic guitar anthems. Their music is shaped by the aesthetics and attitude of the ’50s, the melodies of the ’60s, and the sound of the ’70s.

Founded in Fulda, a small town in Germany, the band’s journey began in 2022 as a studio project. The EPs The Berlin Tapes (2022) and The Rangeland Sessions (2023) laid the foundation for their signature style — somewhere between cinematic highway romance and the search for meaning.

During the concert series “The Good, The Mad And The Unplugged”, the songs were performed live for the first time, in an acoustic pub version. Since the summer of 2025, the band has been performing on stage in full lineup: Maximilian Schmidt (vocals, guitar), Florin Pfeffermann (bass, vocals), and Julian Müller (drums).

The debut album In Search Of The Blue Moon captures the very essence of WAYFORD WEST. Rooted in melodic rock and roll and driven by cinematic storytelling, the eight tracks take listeners on a journey through themes of adventure, longing, and the search for one’s true path. Each song unfolds like a chapter, blending emotion and atmosphere into a sound that’s both timeless and bold. The album was produced together with Max Derkum at JB Studios in Königswinter.

In 2025, the mini tour “In Search Of The Blue Moon” 2025 followed; on selected stages, the band proved that they stand for more than just rock music:

WAYFORD WEST are an echo of times past,
rekindling a new fire in the present.
