Artist History What truly defines a great rock band is a blend of many important elements that most bands never grasp. Integrity. Passion. Raw Emotion. Friendship. Honesty. Care For People. Perseverance. Love. These are the humanistic elements that bond the music, the band mates, and the fans together forever. RUDIGER is driven by these characteristics. These four friends are determined to indeed rise above and make a lasting mark on the whole world. Rudiger's diverse influences cover the whole spectrum of great music from classic legends like The Who, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, on up to the modern greats like U2, Nirvana, Creed, Green Day, MxPx, Jimmy Eat World, and Social Distortion. Playing venues such as the House of Blues, the Roxy Theatre, the Glass House, and the El Rey Theatre, Rudiger's live performance never fails to set the crowd on fire. Now with a brand new full-length record out entitled, TRAVEL BY DAY, the band is ready to set out on their journey to the ends of the earth to spread their positive message through their music and through their lives. The REVOLUTION Begins...

Press Reviews "It's easy to get jaded in this business, between fake industy heads and judgemental fans, it can distract you from music. Rudiger is sincere and enthusiastic and is one of those bands that remind you what this is all about." - Benji, Good Charlotte ---------------- 'Skratch' Magazine * April 2000 Issue * "So how do you pack so much musical genius into just four songs? I don't have the formula, but, on this EP, Rudiger sure does... This self-titled masterpiece is a prelude of the promising things to come from these future monsters of rock."
