Rotersand is a German electronic music act, formed in September 2002 by musician/producer Gun and singer Rascal with dance music producer/dj Krischan J.E. Wesenberg joining them shortly after. Being referred to by the band itself as Industrial Pop Rotersand's music can generally be described as Futurepop.

History

Prior to Rotersand, Gun and Rasc had collaborated on various other projects, most notably Gun as one producer and Rasc as one member of the band The Fair Sex. Rotersand's debut release was the 'Merging Oceans' EP in 2003, followed by their debut album 'Truth is Fanatic'. In 2005, they released their Dalek-sampling single 'Exterminate Annihilate Destroy', a precursor to their second album 'Welcome To Goodbye'. Both of which reached No.1 in the Deutsche Alternative Charts DAC. The third Rotersand album '1023' was released in 2007. The band has toured Europe with Assemblage 23 and both Europe and the US with Covenant, it played at Dark City Festival and was one of the headlining acts at Infest 2006. Mark Jackson of VNV Nation joined them on stage at the M'era Luna Festival in Hildesheim Germany in August 2006, and the band appeared twice at the Wave Gotik Treffen.

After the discontinuation of Dependent Records in 2008 the band signed to Trisol Records in 2008 and released the single "I cry", which was taken from the '1023' album. It also contains a DVD with live and interview material and reached the DAC's No.1 shortly after its release.

Out by the end of August 2009 on the German label Trisol is the newest Rotersand MCD "War On Error". "War on Error" is a teaser for the band's forthcoming album "Random is Resistance".^[1]
