Konformer emerged from the rhythm section of the Nuremberg post-punk band Genetiks in the mid-2000s. Initially, Andreas Berg (drums) and Rainer Ruder (bass) only played for their own sake and with changing guest musicians. On 13 June 2013, Kristian Krauss (keyboards) joined them and shortly afterwards they called themselves Konformer. Without haste and in complete privacy, Konformer developed their own sound over the years, which is essentially based on bass loops.
After countless improvisation sessions, the first lasting piece Konformer was created in 2016, followed by further pieces, which were finally recorded in March 2022 at Frank Mollena’s Lonestar Studios in Nuremberg. Jason Boardman released these a year later on his label Before i Die as BiD005. Despite their long existence, Konformer only made their live debut on 29 April 2023 at Z-Bau in Nuremberg. This was followed by further concerts, a (short) UK-Tour in 2024, and the release of the second album on Before I Die in 2026.
