Itchy (formerly Itchy Poopzkid) is a German punk rock band formed in 2001. The group consists of Sebastian Hafner (vocals, guitar, bass), Daniel Friedl (vocals, guitar, bass) and Max Zimmer (drums).
They have released nine albums many of which entered the German charts.[1] They released albums on their own record label, Findaway Records, until their 7th album which was released through Arising Empire. They have played more than 900 shows throughout Europe.
Up until the release of their single "Nothing" in April 2017, they toured under the name of "Itchy Poopzkid." They stated that their former name was an "unbelievably dumb band name."[2]
On 21 July 2017, the band released their 7th studio album All We Know and they embarked on a big tour through various countries.
On 15 November 2019, Itchy released a new single and music video Faust from their 8th album Ja Als Ob which was released in 2020. On 7 July, 2023, Itchy released a new Album Dive.
The band has also authored 2 volumes of advice on working in a rock band: How to Survive as a Rock Band in volumes 1 and 2. The first was released in 2015, and the second in 2021.[3][4]
