Biography

It’s Swiss made, but it’s definitely far away from being cheesy: Rumours say that when this band got together in the late 90’s for their first rehearsals even the cows on the mountains around have been shaken so much that they gave butter instead of milk. Which should be no wonder at all: Coming from the canton of Bern these guys are – so to say – born in a world of rock. The talent to climb up onto every mountain’s top is part of their life and forcing them to move on. And it’s keeping them down-to-earth, expanding and unique – all at the same time. Strong, hard and solid rock music has been their trademark since they played their first tone. Already their self-titled debut-album (which was released in 1998) could make a great impression on the music listening world. Though their sound is very straight, no one ever dared to use words such as “old fashioned” when describing Shakra. Yes, you can even call them a groove machine, this pulsating power keeps everything going.

These guys, and that has been obvious from the very beginning, are what they are - as simple as it is. And they exactly know what they want. Consequently they’ve been going their way upwards since then. Without getting exhausted at all.

When in 1999 their second album “Moving Force” was released, everyone was already waiting for it. Tours with Great White or Uriah Heep were following, as well as (a third and) a forth album “Rising”, which could even enter the Swiss and German sales charts.
