The Legendary
An epic band steeped in the best traditions of
good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll with hints of influences from
old school hard rock and classic heavy metal.
This tenacious three-piece was first established
back in January 2014, in Munich, Germany, by
Thorsten Rock (guitars and vocals) and Stefan
Tönjes (drums) with the sole objective of creating a sound that embodies their passion for
the music they have loved and lived all of their
lives. They completed their master plan when
Robin Matteo joined their cause. With his blistering bass lines, forged by the blues-rock of the
old, Robin complimented the rumbling sound
of Thorsten’s classic hollow-body Gibson guitar
and Stefan’s big drum beats perfectly.
The Legendary has been compared to the likes

and a
blend of Black Stone
Cherry; fusing the gap between the bands that
inspired them and mainstream pop/rock; causing even the most casual listener to start moving
to the beat of their infectious sound and singing
along to their catchy choruses.
Their debut live concert in May 2014 was a
great success which garnered them an ever
growing rabid fan base that is always left wanting more. And, like any band worth their salt,
The Legendary adores their fans and giving
them what they crave.
The ferocious three forged ahead to give their
fans just what they wanted in the shape of their
first six song EP ‘Pirates’. This sonic kraken was
unleashed to the masses just a few short months
later in July 2014.
Over the course of the year that followed, and
due to the nature of a rather challenging live
music scene in Munich, The Legendary played
only nine more gigs before they were offered
the main support slot to Tito & Tarantula on their
upcoming 22 date European tour commencing
in April 2015.
In March 2015, The Legendary released their
latest single, “Kissin’ Kate”, with two belters both
to be featured on their forthcoming full length
debut album, scheduled for a summer 2015
release.
They are indeed “The Legendary”, and they are
just getting started.

The Legendary come out swinging on the “Pirates EP”.
With an incredible amount of energy that never lets
up The Legendary is a force to be reckoned. Loud,
brash, intense, The Legendary works best with the volume cranked up as high as possible. Over the course
of the collection The Legendary manage to have it
all: both a sense of playfulness matched with remarkably simple yet catchy guitar riffs. Everything comes
together quite nicely: from the strong vocals to the
pummeling rhythms to the controlled chaos, it works.
