ABOUT
TARGET EAGLE is the first notable band the 20 year old guitar player formed in 1986. A band that introduced Sven to his longtime friend ANDY SACHS (bass). It is the beginning of a very productive musical career… 1987 a solo demo was released to international praise. Instrumental shred albums where the thing, so ‚ why not do one myself ?‘ young Sven thought. After a short phase writing songs with PETER WINTER Sven formed CHANGES. Starting as a progressive rock trio CHANGES became lesser prog in each incarnation and had, among others, superb singer Michael Waidelich in their ranks. 1995 Sven was part in the formation of THREE MILE SMILE, this time offering more alternative oriented rock. 1997 the collaboration with KLAUS SCHMUCK started, first in JERRY CAN, later in the hard rocking OCEAN BED. In 2002 Sven re-started his solo recordings. He joined forces with power house singer Jan Knopf forming HIGH ROAD EASY in 2008. HIGH ROAD EASY released 4 full length records, their latest 2020.

2021 Sven released the EP ‚Now, Then (EP1)‘ on June 11th on bandcamp.com . You might also like to check out the songs via the teaser released on YouTube . Or the full length Video for ANOTHER TRY. On EP 1 Sven shares lead vocals with High Road Easy singer Jan Knopf. Drums on most songs are provided by Magnus Brandell. The music ranges from hard rock to acoustic to radio friendly rock. There is even a 11/8 progressive rock anthem which features Simon Philips on drums. All songs are vocal heavy, exploring Svens love for choral arrangements. EP 2 will feature lead vocals from Klaus Schmuck, former Starstruck, Jerry Can and Ocean Bed singer.

WONDERFUL THINGS
COME IN TINY PACKAGES
(CD, 2019)
The 2nd album I teamed up with singer extraordinaire, Udo Maurer. I love is raspy voice that elevates 6 songs way beyond the original versions I had. It also features some of the best instrumental rock songs I‘ve ever written.
STANDING TALL (CD, 2013)
‚Standing Tall‘ is inspired by my work with vocalist Klaus Schmuck, with whom I collaborated several years. Some of the songs we wrote are dear to my heart and you can find re-arranged and re- recorded version on them with Klaus‘ original vocals. Add some new songs to that and voilá, a full album was ready.
