Watch Me Rise (DE)

Watch Me Rise are among the most distinctive names on today’s German emo and post-hardcore scene. Formed in 2018, the band have built a strong reputation thanks to their unique blend of punk rock, post-hardcore and emo, paired with deeply personal lyrics that openly address mental health, loss, identity and the search for meaning. They have shared stages with acts such as Enter Shikari, Black Flag and Birds In Row, and performed at festivals across Europe, including in the Czech Republic.

Their debut album A Decade Full of Setbacks and Mistakes captures seven years of the band’s journey, marked by emotional lows, growth and resilience. Across ten tracks, the record delivers raw hardcore energy, dynamic contrasts and moments of quiet introspection, presenting Watch Me Rise in their most powerful form to date. Released on April 25, 2025, the album confirms the band as one of the most authentic voices of their generation.
