Electric Callboy

Electric Callboy has become a global phenomenon, redefining the metalcore landscape with their infectious blend of heavy riffs, vibrant EDM elements, and a healthy dose of humour, earning them the well-deserved moniker of “partycore.” This German powerhouse, known for their viral music videos and high-energy live shows, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

The band’s journey began in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, in 2010, initially under the name Eskimo Callboy. The founding members, including vocalists Sebastian “Sushi” Biesler and Kevin Ratajczak, guitarists Daniel Haniß and Pascal Schillo, bassist Daniel Klossek, and drummer Michael Malitzki, quickly carved out a niche with their unique sound. Their early releases showcased a raw fusion of metal’s intensity with electronic dance music, a style that would become their signature. A notable shift occurred in 2012 when David Friedrich replaced Michael Malitzki on drums, further solidifying their lineup.

In March 2022, the band officially rebranded themselves as Electric Callboy. This decision was made to address concerns surrounding the potentially offensive connotations of their previous name, reflecting their commitment to inclusivity and broader appeal. This rebranding coincided with the release of their most successful album to date, TEKKNO, which not only topped charts in Germany but also saw them gain significant traction globally. TEKKNO features fan favourites like “We Got the Moves,” “Pump It,” and “Spaceman,” showcasing their continued evolution and mastery of the partycore sound.

Beyond their music, Electric Callboy is known for several fascinating aspects that contribute to their unique appeal. Their dedication to self-produced and often outlandish music videos has been a major driver of their success, creating a distinct visual identity that perfectly complements their sound. From mullets and moustaches to elaborate workout routines, their videos are as entertaining as their songs. The band’s humorous approach, a rarity in the typically serious heavy music scene, resonates deeply with fans, making their music a source of pure enjoyment. Their well publicised attempt to represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with “Pump It” generated massive media attention, even though they were not ultimately selected. This move showcased their ambition to break into mainstream consciousness while staying true to their artistic vision. The band has also cultivated a strong DIY ethos, being heavily involved in every aspect of their creative process, from songwriting and production to video creation, which ensures an authentic and personal touch in all their releases.

Electric Callboy’s blend of electronicore, dance metal, and infectious energy continues to make them one of the most exciting and sought-after bands in contemporary heavy music.
