The thing about Electric Callboy, and what makes them so great, is that they don't care about being the best, the most talented, etc. They just simply want to make music and above all, have fun.

While I'm 99% sure Electric Callboy falls in the "metalcore" genre, I'm very partial to the "meme core" designation someone else applied to them, because their music (and videos) since Hypa Hypa have been catchy, fun, meme-worthy, and just an absolute delight. They're truly the "This is where the fun metal things happen" band, and I love them for it.

@Hymnodic

They are electronicore, which is a subgenre of metalcore, but I definitely rank them as memecore because electronicore often leans more heavily into the metalcore and prog than EC does.

I've thought the genre electric callboy does is "partycore". Not many people like harsh vocals in the grand scheme of things but combining them with a techno sound and clean vocals mixed in makes their stuff a great thing to play at parties

I’ve loosely followed BabyMetal for years, but I found EC through this channel the first time you covered them, and I’ve not stopped listening to them since, they’re genius. All of them are extremely talented with multiple side projects, and their aggressive happiness is refreshing AF. They do serious music too and damn it’s good, if you listen to their full body of work and l watch their vlogs, you can see they know exactly where their feet are. This is a great collab.

They have made a song that metalheads want to dance to and non-metal fans want to headbang to with abandon. That's quite an achievement. It has a 90's feel when people were being exposed to both grunge and dance music and wanted to listen to both. They have crafted something that appeals to everyone exept the minority of people it was probably never going to appeal to anyway no matter what they did. I'm sure most fans who are still on the fence will come around when they see or hear it live. Why did they do this? Because they knew they could do it and knew we needed it.

But i guess that you would understand their song "Hurrikan" given the time you spent already in German speaking Switzerland...

Been a huge fan of both of these bands since 2013. Was at BABYMETAL's first 2 UK shows back in 2014 and they've always been incredible. I get why some people see a gimmick with both bands, but they're both legit and make fantastic music imo. Their music makes me smile in the same way that The Darkness stuff did, and music that makes you smile should always be encouraged.

I appreciate your honest noodling at the opening and closing segments. Half the time you’re like “ehhhhh good enough” and I think that takes some balls.

I had no idea Justin Hawkins had a channel. Awesome.

I am really enjoying this channel Mr. Hawkins

I didn't think this one was that great.

I love the behind the scenes stuff EC have said on this, that Babymetal wanted to meet them (which surprised Kevin), and also that they wrote this together as a full collaboration. It felt like both sides just really enjoyed working together, and it wasn't a money-grab. I don't know Babymetal well, but have followed EC for quite a few years - lot of respect for their love of music.

They made a proper banger here. Too many bands take themselves so seriously in metal, it's refreshing to see and hear stuff like this.

1st song sounds like Eurovision 2023 song from Finland, "Cha cha cha".

Thr happiness they make us feel with the music is what it's all about

Not my bag baby

HOLY SHIT this i wasn’t expecting didn’t know you had a YT channel subbed!!!

Gonna watch this vid again just to hear you say "grrrrrroup" again;)
