We are Golden Fin – a four-piece alternative rock band from Jena. Our songs can be placed somewhere between the music of Biffy Clyro, Queens of the Stone Age, and Wolfmother. Since 2016, we’ve been shaking up stages, reached the finals of the Thüringen Grammy in 2023, and released our first record in 2024.

Biography

20.10.2017 Kulturbahnhof, Jena
It all started back in 2006, when Max and Sascha spent all their saved pocket money on 10-watt amps and electric guitars. Instead of taking guitar lessons, they simply dove right in. Not long after, they met Teresa at the farewell concert of her band Mirage. From 2010 onward, the three called themselves Sold Out and independently recorded three albums: Turning Leaf, Urban Smoke, and Even Scale. Some songs like Color The Intent, Blue Lights, and Take Some Time are still part of the band’s setlist today.
After a two-year break, Tim joined on bass in the fall of 2016 – the last missing puzzle piece. From then on, the band called themselves Golden Fin and released their first EP in 2021, featuring the songs Vulcano, Blank Page, and Sand Runs Quick. With Tim on bass, the band found their sound: raw, analog, melodic, groovy, atmospheric, powerful – and above all, loud!

2024 marked another step forward. The band caught the attention of producer Rhys Zacher, who has since produced all of their songs. For the recordings of their Magic Heartz EP, the band secluded themselves in a cabin in the Harz Mountains to record everything on their own, while Rhys Zacher took care of mixing and mastering. Later that year, Magic Heartz was released as their first limited vinyl record.
Their latest release, Atlas, came out in 2025. The rise of war and right-wing politics has left its mark on the band. Their songs have become more political, taking a clear stance against war and exclusion.
