They started their career under the name Shit and released a great EP named "Gigantic". Afterwards they changed their name to Scorefor and recorded another 4-track compilation called "I'm a rotten kid". One of the songs from that record - "I will" - made it to the cover cd in Visions magazine. In November 2000 they got the chance to participate in the new talents 2000 contest in Celle presented by WOM, Soundcheck and BMG as one of the 5 best newcomer rock bands in Germany and made an excellent third place.

In 2001 they got a contract from Wolverine Records and provided a song for "Punk Chartbusters 4". Numerous other (well-known) punk bands appear on this record, beyond them "Die Toten Hosen", "Bela B." and "Terrorgruppe", but SCOREFOR's cover of the "Mike Oldfield"-classic "Moonlight Shadow" is one of the best - if not the best song.

The next step in their career was the release of their first long-player called "Leaving the Birdcage" in October 2001. It can be ordered from Amazon. The first single from that record "I Don't Know Why" came out September, 17.

In December 2001, Scorefor taped their first video for their second single from "Leaving the Birdcage". The song is called "Heavyweight Champion" and will be released in February 2002. Click here for some pictures of the video shooting.

So watch out for them, there definitely is more to come. Meanwhile, visit their homepage www.scorefor.de. They have more recent information, song texts and even snatches of their songs for downloading.

They won't have to be, but I think they will...
