independent noise since 1998

About Me


We are a punkrock band from Leipzig, Germany.FIFTY50 was found 1998 in Leipzig. They combine old-school punkrock with rocknroll, skate-punk with power-pop and put their messages into powerful choruses. The various musical favours of each band member, the family-like atmosphere in the band and everybodys input to the song-writing creates the typical and unique FIFTY50-sound. This energy is best perceived and experienced at one of their live shows. Since their formation FIFTY50 organises all activities within band, DIY, from booking, web stuff, graphics and video to sound recording. In spring 2005 they produced a video to the song my decision, in the summer of 2005 they realized a US-tour and since 2005 FIFTY50 records their songs in their own FIFTY50 studio, which meanwhile is also popular by other bands for its pleasant recording atmosphere. www.fifty50records.com

We take the word "friends" here on myspace literally so everybody added here as friends is someone we hang out with personally, played concerts with, send messages with, someone who help us or is linked to us in any other way. So if you judge bands by the amount of friends they have than we really suck, I guess, but we treasure our friends and try to remember the people that crossed our paths. Nevertheless, you are always welcome to send us message or sign our guestbook ( www.fifty50.de ) whoever you are. Cheers and Take Care.
