The band got their name while in the USA. The four often got coffee at Starbucks, and in the USA, Konstantin was known as 'Stan' - and at Starbucks they write your name on the cup when you order. The waitress asked them if they were a band and suggest the name therefore.
In September 2007 Stanfour released their debut single, Do It All, which jumped in the German single charts, and reached place 46. Their second song, For All Lovers, was chosen by Sat.1 as trailer music for the TV show 'Nur die Liebe zählt' (Only Love Counts) and ran in September 2007. Their debut album 'Wild Life' came out on February 29, 2008. From April 2 to May 5, the band were the main opening act for the Backstreet Boys on their European Tour (Germany, Belgium & Luxembourgh).
Stanfour has also toured with John Fogerty (Creedance Clearwater Revival) and played shows with Daughtry, One Republic and Bryan Adams. In addition to the heavy hitters they’ve performed with, Stanfour has had some powerful players in the music industry working on this project. Writers Max Martin [Pink, James Blunt], Lindy Robbins [Backstreet Boys], Jess Cates [Backstreet Boys], Ryan Tedder [Singer, OneRepublic], and Desmond Child [Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Kiss] all contributed to the album, with Randy Staub [Nickelback, Metallica] mixing the final product and Martin Hansen [The Rasmus] producing.

Stanfour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pulled me into this
My heart caught on fire
My is on fire
You’re like a fearless train
Rolling fields of grain
My heart caught fire
I want you to see what’s real
You only got your zeal
Rocking the silver screen
I see you falling for
You’re swimming in a sea of sound
Give me a reason
Find me a reason
Should I care after all
You rise, I take the fall
My heart caught on fire
My heart is on fire
I want you to see what’s real
You only got your zeal
Rocking the silver screen
I see you’re falling for
I see you’re falling for
You’re like a stone in the sea
Your eyes on the sun, how will it be
Won’t you stay here, let it go
You feel like a star, don’t you know
And it’s time to pay for all the lies
Tired and two degrees
I feel like it would be
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
You’re racing out the stream
Nothing is it what it seems
My heart loses fire
My heart lost on fire
I want you to see what’s real
You only got your zeal
Rocking the silver screen
I see you’re falling for
I see you’re falling for
