Electric Callboy stands out with a unique sound blending 90s pop synths, alternative rock, and metalcore. Their innovative experiments, like merging German Schlager with deathcore in "Hurricane" and crafting hardstyle-influenced industrial metalcore in "Parasite," showcase their versatility. Their reinterpretation of Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" also highlights their mastery of various genres. With over 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and more than 1.7 million combined followers across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok, Electric Callboy is rapidly becoming a major force in German metal.
Formed in 2010 in Castrop-Rauxel, the band quickly gained attention in Germany with their trancecore sound. Their debut album, "Bury Me In Vegas," charted at #65 in 2012, and subsequent albums—"We Are The Mess" (#8), "Crystals" (#6), "The Scene" (#6), and "Rehab" (#16)—solidified their success. The release of "Hypa Hypa" in June 2020 marked the start of a new era, leading to even greater achievements. Despite not participating in Eurovision 2022, their year was notable with a sold-out Hypa Hypa European tour and their sixth album, "TEKKNO," hitting #1 on the German charts. Their inaugural festival, Escalation Fest, also sold over 10,000 tickets.
In 2023, they sold out almost their entire world tour and Escalation Fest 2023, with 200,000 tickets sold. Their cover of "Everytime We Touch" has garnered over 13 million Spotify streams, while "We Got The Moves" went viral with 250,000 streams per day. As they continue their TEKKNO world tour in 2024, Electric Callboy's success story continues to impress and grow.
