Raskob Rails

Raskob Rails are a melodic punk band from Wittlich, Germany. The band originally formed in 1998, when five friends came together through their shared love of punk rock shows and music.

Their early sound was influenced by skate punk and classic punk rock, combining melodic guitars, memorable hooks and lyrics about friendship, love and social life.

In 2001, they released their first full-length For Friends & Loved Ones, followed by One Way Letters in 2003.

After a break that started in 2007, Raskob Rails returned in 2024. The reunion brought the band back with a spark that had flared up and instantly led to new songs, the stage and the music that had shaped them from the beginning.

Since their return, Raskob Rails have played shows and festivals including Riez Open Air, Fallig Open Air, Spack Festival, Resäcker Open Air and Jeff Dich Festival. Over the years, they have shared stages with bands such as Randy, Donots, Jupiter Jones, Pascow, The Break, Venerea, The Lawrence Arms, Matchbook Romance, Reel Big Fish, Phinius Gage and No Fun At All.

In April 2026, Sarah became a permanent member of the band. She had already contributed vocals to the song Stand Defiant and now adds another voice to the lineup.
