Born in Switzerland, Stefano “Saint”
Paolucci was raised by a traditional Italian mother and grew up as a boy caught
between two worlds. From the age of 8 he began playing Guitar, while falling in
love with the rock sound of the 70’s.
In 2003 Stefano met bass
player Pascal Münger and not long after Redeem were formed. Within
months they released their first demo and had sent it to several record labels
in Germany and Switzerland. The feedback was very positive and Redeem
very quickly got some offers from labels in Germany.
Redeem released their debut album "Eleven" in late
2006 with Point Music to receive rave reviews in Switzerland, Europe and the
US. The album was co-produced by the legendary Swiss producer Tommy Vetterli
(Coroner) and mastered in New York by George Marino (AC/DC, Led
Zeppelin,BonJovi). Critics brim over with enthusiasm for it and you can be
curious about it, where the way will lead to.
Redeem’s first
single “Alive” as well as the 2nd single
“Time” had high rotation on many Swiss radio stations, and slowly
but surely they conquer the airplay-charts. Additionally VIVA Switzerland
supports the three guys with massive video rotation.
At the end of 2007
Simon Steiner joined and the band benefits from his powerful drumming. In
summer 2008 the band toured across Switzerland, partly to support bands like
“Gotthard”, “Magnum” and “+44”. Also they played
big outdoor festivals like “Rockfest” with Alice Cooper or
“Jazzfestival Montreux”.
Redeem have completed 2
high-profile international tours as a support band with Daughtry and 3 Doors
Down and are quickly becoming a festival favourite, thanks to shows that
reviewers have described as “electric” and
“stadium-worthy”. Since the release of "Eleven", Redeem
have been turning heads around the globe. Fans across Europe have been flocking
to the band’s websites to connect with their music, leading to the largest
MySpace (www.myspace.com/redeemmusic) and Facebook
(www.facebook.com/redeemmusic) profiles of any Swiss band. In late 2009 they
started recording their 2nd Album called “999” and bass player
Roman “Pom” Albisser joined the Band.
At the Moment the band
is currently hard at work to finish their second album with Franz Plasa (Nena,
Falco) in Hamburg, Arne Neurand at Horus Studios in Hannover and with Steve
Power (Robbie Williams, Joe Cocker) in London which will be released in the
beginning of 2011. The new album takes more cues from what has made
Redeem so popular on the live and festival circuit, more progressive
rock sound.
With excitement already building amongst fans and industry,
Redeem are poised to set Europe alight in 2011.
