About

Now. stands for pop rock from Austria that moves, touches and pushes forward — honest, handmade and full of energy. Valentin Bröderbauer (vocals, guitar), Chris Sztrakati (drums) and Constantin Kaiser (bass, synth) combine catchy hooks with depth, creating songs that stick instantly and resonate long after.
With over ten years of experience as musicians, producers and songwriters for renowned artists like Josh., Ina Regen, Conchita, Thorsteinn Einarsson and Lemo, the starting shot came in 2020: time for their own path. Time for Now.
Their debut single 'Wastin' Days' found its way straight into airplay on several Austrian radio stations. With further releases like 'Stay', 'Let Go' and 'Lay It Down', the band solidified their sound — regularly featured in playlists and on stations like Radio Wien, 88.6 and Life Radio.
Together with producer Florian Koch, the intensive work on the debut album began in 2023. The result: 'OUT', released in October 2024 — a powerful album with 15 songs that uniquely combine honesty, depth and lightness. At the latest, the sold-out release show at Aera Wien made it clear: Now. strikes a chord.
The second album arrives in autumn 2026. All songs are created in the band's own studio — every note, every beat, every line carries their unmistakable signature.
