Gotthard (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gotthard is a Swiss hard rock band founded by Steve Lee and Leo Leoni. Their last ten albums have all charted at number one, making them the most successful Swiss album chart act ever.
With 2 millions of albums sold (1m of which was sold in Switzerland, which only has 7 million inhabitants), they managed to get multi-platinum awards in different parts of the world., it is the nationally most successful rock band – if international sales are considered, they are still trailing Krokus.
