“This interim album is not merely a stopgap, but a powerful statement on the road to the next chapter!” ROCK MAGAZINE (GER)

“Without a doubt, Gotthard are currently experiencing another peak in their creative output!” ROCK IT! (GER)

“Gotthard have long been one of the most reliable names in European hard rock, and they prove it once again here. What stands out most is the balance between classic hard rock attitude and modern songwriting. The songs feel familiar without sounding outdated, and the band’s experience shows in the confident arrangements and strong hooks. Fans of melodic hard rock will find plenty to enjoy here, as Gotthard continue to demonstrate why they remain a cornerstone of the genre!”ROCK HARD (IT)

“Reaching the top of the charts in their home country with this release seems almost certain!”METAL HAMMER (DE)

“Stereo Crush from March 2025 belongs to the best albums of these Swiss. ‘More Stereo Crush’, you guessed it, continues this success story in the form of an EP. Definitely worth it and a nice addition to last year’s release!” ROCK TRIBUNE (BE)

“The Swiss hard rock giants Gotthard have always stood for honest, handcrafted musical passion, and even after more than 30 years they have lost none of their impact!”
KEEP ON ROCKING (DE)

“If you miss the sound of 70s/80s hard rock a la Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, just taken to a slightly more thoughtful, nuanced manner, then Gotthard is more than worth the investment to get acquainted with. More Stereo Crush should keep the hordes happy until the next official studio album arrives.” DEAD RHETORIC (US)

“This release is absolutely worth your time and money if you’re a fan of the band. If you don’t have their last album, picking this up as part of a bundle with their last album would be your best bet. It’s great to have a gap album that keeps their momentum going while they gear up for the next album!”ROCKPOSER

“More Stereo Crush definitely gets you excited for the upcoming tour!”

Today, Swiss hard rock legends Gotthard celebrate the release of their brand-new mini album More Stereo Crush, out now via RPM. The eight-track release expands on the band’s acclaimed 2025 album Stereo Crush and offers fans a deeper look into the creative sessions behind the record.

More Stereo Crush features five previously unreleased songs from the Stereo Crush recordings, alongside the track “Mayday,” which had previously only been available as a video. The EP also includes a radio edit of the ballad “Burning Bridges” and a brand-new duet version of the fan favorite “Liverpool,” performed by vocalist Nic Maeder together with Marc Storace of Krokus.
