Formed in 2013, Go By Brooks is a melancholic rock band featuring five members: Laetitia (vocals and guitar), Nicolas Palumbo (guitars), Sacha Heck (bass), Jérôme Moes (keys), and Steve Krippler (drums). The band’s unique musical style blends melancholic melodies, poignant lyrics and expressive vocals.
Following the launch of their debut EP Rivers in 2015 and Oceans in 2016, the group eventually unveiled their inaugural album Another Flame in December 2018, before treating their audience to their first live album in 2021 and releasing their second album This Is Her War a year later. Exploring themes of identity, desire, and injustice, the band remains faithful to melancholic rock, enhancing their compositions with dynamic instrumentation. Go By Brooks embodies a contrast between light and darkness, paying homage to the band’s namesake inspiration, Leonard Cohen, who famously said, “There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.”
Over the past years, the band has graced numerous stages in Luxembourg and the surrounding regions, showcasing not only their rock prowess but also offering an acoustic experience. The band is currently working on new songs and preparing their live shows.
On 8th December 2018, the 3rd CD and first album "Another Flame" has been released.

Laetitia Koener – vocals & guitar
She’s the founder of the band, she loves to sing, she loves to play the guitar, she’s very nice but don’t you dare ask her to share her dessert!
Nicolas Palumbo – guitar & backing vocals
No. The guitar solo is never too long! Especially not if it’s played by our one and only Nicolas!
Jérôme Moes – keyboards & backing vocals
What would we do without the sweet sound of the keys? Jérôme’s piano playing is not only transportive, it will embrace you like a hot cup of tea on a cold october day.
Sacha Heck – bass
Sacha is not only the best cook in town, but will also instantly boost your mood with his infectious laugh.
Steve Krippler – drums & percussion
Say hi to the bassist’s best friend: the drummer! Steve is not only a super talented musician, but also knows at least 83 ways to open a beer bottle without a bottle opener! Cheers to that!
