Our Mirage

Our Mirage is a post-hardcore band from Marl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The band was formed in 2017 by Timo Bonner (vocals), Jens Böthin (guitar, later replaced by Steffen Hirz), Manuel Möbs (bass, backing vocals), and Daniel Maus (drums).

In July 2017, Our Mirage released their first official single, "Revivor," which quickly gained popularity alongside their song "Nightfall." During 2017, the band performed a series of concerts in Germany and embarked on their first small European tour in November of the same year.

Our Mirage's music is characterized by hard-hitting lyrics that touch on themes such as depression, anxiety, and bullying. Their style combines elements of melodic hardcore and post-hardcore, with influences from alternative rock. The band's songs often explore personal experiences and emotions, and their sound is described as mellow yet impactful, with clear vocals and punchy instrumentals.

The band signed with the German label Arising Empire in July 2018 where they released their debut album, "Lifeline", on August 24, 2018. Prior to the release of the album , the band opened the Elbriot festival in Hamburg on August 18, 2018, sharing the stage with bands like Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, and Arch Enemy. In December of that year, Our Mirage accompanied Breathe Atlantis and Imminence on their European tour.

In 2019, the band opened for Callejon on their Hartgeld im Club pt.II tour. They embarked on their first headlining tour in March 2019, with Die Heart and The Disaster Area as supporting acts. Throughout the summer of 2019, Our Mirage performed at various festivals in Germany, including the Impericon Festival in Munich and the Deichbrand Festival in Cuxhaven.

In February 2020, the band released their album "Unseen Relations" after a break from playing for almost two years. They returned with three singles during this time: "Transparent," "Remedy," and "Calling You." In early 2022, the band resumed their Unseen Relations Release tour, performing at numerous concerts and festivals. They made appearances at festivals such as Vainstream, Fallen Fortress, and Traffic Jam.
