Kickhunter is a Hamburg‑based hard rock band with deep southern rock and blues influences. Formed in 2000 by guitarist Stefan Aurel and drummer Karsten Kreppert, the group quickly gained attention touring Europe with acts like Deep Purple and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their music is characterized by "dirty riffs, powerful Hammond sounds and groovy drums" – real handmade rock'n'roll .
After releasing four albums between 2003 and 2014, the band made a powerful comeback in 2023 with Now Or Never, featuring fast-paced twin‑guitar attacks, stomping blues rock tracks, and Hammond-laden anthems
