Another note on their name change: They were very transparent during that process, and did a great job engaging with their audience throughout. They even had some public discussions with experts on indigenous cultures. Then in the midst of all this news broke about the war in Ukraine, and the band decided to change their name and wrap up further discussion. Saying basically: as important as this is to us and our fans, the conflict puts their issue into perspective. So just change the name and move on. IIRC they donated proceeds from their rebranded merch to organizations trying to help people in Ukraine.

I think they didn't only choose Nico because of the audition. Nico was in a german band called "To the rats and wolves" which had a similar sound and splitted up just before Sushi left. Both bands even toured together, so they knew each other before.

I think the majority of their fanbase stood behind them, whether they changed their name or not. Their music speaks enough for them. They are fucking legends.

The name change was done very well, most importantly because it was genuine and they were open about it. It helps that they'd made some vlogs so we were used to them being them, no fake image or overdone performance, updating us from "we got pointed out this is bad" through "we're investigating and making up our minds" to "this namechange is happening because...". Being open and honest about things is a powerful thing

I’ve never fallen in love with a band so quickly. It was actually so surprising to me when I found out they’d been a band for over 10 years already.

Let's add that SUSHI also developed as a musician and found passionate mates within his new band Ghøstkid. 🤟 The same way as I liked Eskimo Callboy back in the old days I adore both new styles now, the Electrics and the Ghostkiddos.

I was first introduced to Electric Callboy Aug 2020. A friend of mine wouldn't stop watching the Hypa Hypa video while on a group trip. The video was funny but I was still on the fence. That same friend then went on to show me some of their older videos for Crystals, McThunder and a few more. I was still on the fence until I watched Hate/Love and Nico's acoustic version of Prism. Those two songs sealed it for me. I love the new album, blogs and videos. I love that they have majority control of their music videos since Pascal and his brother are the directors and producers on most if not all their music videos. I wish Nico a full recovery and looking foward to them coming to the US for a tour.

Like Ghostkid's Debut Album definitely tapped into the darker side of things we got a taste of on Crystals & The Scene where as Electric Callboy decided to go into the more Party/ Comedy side that was also seen on it. Both brilliant albums from both bands though.

As a nerd who's been jamming Eskimo Callboy since the old days.....Thanks for making this video lol. The old music definitely has a soft spot in my heart probably for nostalgic purposes, but the new stuff is clearly way catchier and arguably just better. So happy to see them succeed finally

I am austrian so I guess I have a bit of a different perspective towards the band. I remember when I started paying more attention to music and festivals they were always part of the line up of like Metal festivals in my area but I never really got into their music back then and honestly kinda forgot about them until hypa hypa came out. I think initially in the german speaking countries the song got a bit of a push because there is a pretty "famous" song called Hyper Hyper by German electronic musician scooter that is regarded as very cringe but also kind of a fun thing to listen to. Initially I thought it was a cover of that song and instantly clicked on the video. I never expected them to blow up this big. I couldn't believe it when I opened TiTok and saw people reacting to them and stuff like that.

I do wonder how many people out there stick to specific genres. I like many genres and Electric callboy mixed them in a way i really loved, I was obsessed with We got the moves

It's really interesting to me how big they could get and how they were not really known internationally in the metal scene back then. I got into them by a old friend back in 2010 when he showed me their ep. I didn't really had much exposure to metalcore/trancecore back then but I instantly loved their music. Fascinating was also how many of my friends listened to them back in 2014 while not being metal fans at all. That's why I'm even more excited that they found international success in the last two years.

I found them through Nik Nocturnal's reaction of Pump It, only a few months before they changed their band name. Really happy they're around! They don't take themselves too seriously but they're still quality music, and I like it a lot :)

Great video! We as a German music channel find it very well produced. There is still some information missing in the video like for example that a big part of the hype from 2015 came from Hänno (Handofblood).

Speaks for the quality imo. Through EC i got into reaction channels and through these im got down to death metal and stuff, so yeah, crazy stuff.

Crystals is still my favorite album they've released but I'm so glad they're getting more and more successful

I'm from germany and first time I saw them live was in 2016 on a free Open Air Festival. It was awesome to see them blowing up with their new singer and to see international reactions on hypa hypa etc. Germans just flooded those reaction channels :D

To me one of the craziest thing about them is that they played a massive (as in 200,000+ people) EDM festival in Germany this and the crowd went absolutely wild. I know there are still some people who would consider even a keyboard in metal borderline offensive in most cases, but I would have never expected that to work half as well as it did. 10:58 Funny you put it that way with the "boyband-kindof vocals", because that was exactly what I used to dislike about them when Sushi was doing vocals, the heavy bits were nice, the cleans sounded like they were aimed at 14-year-old girls 😅

I was introduced to the band by TanktheTech's reaction of Pump It. This was where I realized that rock and metal reaction/essay channels are absolutely a huge driving force for the popularity and spread of the genres. Electric Callboy is now one of my favorite modern bands of any genre. They are so wholly unique and refreshing, and I'm really happy they're finding mainstream success now, and it really is all thanks to the hype around Hypa Hypa, their consistency in quality of audio and video, and of course the amazing, amazing folks on KZread (channels and viewers).

And We got the moves is also my favourite song by them now!

I found them thanks to the reactor Tank the tech, otherwise I would never have listened or seen any of their songs. So thanks! Now they are one of my favourite bands.!

I found these guys from this channel’s comment section. Sign me up! I like the tongue and cheek videos. Being a fitness addict, I love that they have a song about working out. I think is anyone up is a bit of a banger. They sold out the venue in my city at the end of the month.🤘

Deffo seem like cool guys. The music has so much energy and a positive vibe. The videos are just as memorable. Obviously a band that cares about what they are putting out and addressing the past in a good way. Cool overview Finn!

I like their old music better. I´m happy for them that they blew up on the internet. I've listened to them for ~10 years now and saw them life multiple times. Sadly the new songs beside "HypaHypa" and "We got the moves" just didn´t catch me and especially after seeing them life 2 months ago I have to say that for me they changed in a bad direction. Well...whatever. Bands come and go and fans come and go. We all change. That´s life. I hope they keep beeing happy and do whatever they wanna do.

I've seen them live 2x, first time they were still going by eskimo Callboy at a small outdoor Festival and second time was a few weeks was in a full sold out Stadium. It's amazing to see their popularity grow they deserve it so much! Also concert felt more like one big party than a concert. Everybody was dancing like crazy and singing along, it was amazing

I think you hit the nail on the head with the "fun" thing. So much of metal has become "bearded dudes djenting in a colored room" as you put it, or djenting in a warehouse. It got boring, frankly. Electric Callboy also understands the power of music videos and puts a lot of effort into them. You can draw a lot of parallels between Electric Callboy and Blink-182 back in the late 90's.

So happy to se this guys finally getting big. You said that they did something good to be known in North America since Is Anyone Up, imagine getting known in South America!

Maybe now we can dream with a world tour where they come here to Brazil. 🤗

Small note on what Finn mentioned about "they become famous only after years of being a band", a similar story is with Infected Rain (nowdays they sign up with Napalm Records). I remember seeing that band live in 2010 (or so), in Iasi, Romania (There are people in Romania that can't point that city on a map), and now they're touring all over America and Europe. Keep grinding guys!

Great summary. I knew about Electric Callboy before Hypa, Hypa but I didn’t care at the time. I wasn’t emo back then and their music wasn’t present on my radar. But with Hypa, Hypa they put a song in my ear that stuck for a long time (German word for this: Ohrwurm - literal english translation: ear worm). They are super chill and fun guys and they deserve their fame.

Love the wholesome message behind this video. Much love to ya, Finn.

Found them through the Hypa Hypa hype. Great band, great videos, great everything. I agree with Finn that WE got the moves is their best song yet. It's so catchy, I've heard it being played by DJs in clubs that don't play any metal or rock music.

nice to see there is some metal out there that doesn't take itself to seriously.

I actually discovered Eskimo Callboy in 2016 when I looked up "To The rats and Wolves" (Nico's old band) after hearing about them in a youtube comment, and EC''s We are the Mess was cued up as the next track, and I got hooked from there so for me both bands have always been intertwined, especially since now they've essentially swapped members to become Electric Callboy and Ghostkid

Thanks so much for making this video. Had never heard of them before this and Tekkno is one of the most cathy, fun and original albums I've heard in a long time.

Awesome video, loved getting a bit more backstory for these guys and you brought some really interesting and thoughtful points up. Massively on point the whole way through, but you hit the highest level of absolute correctness right at the moment you said that We Got The Moves is their best song. Not a popular opinion amongst the Electric Callboy fans I know, but popularity is usually not a reason for me to change an opinion. Thanks for the great vid man!

love these guys and so glad you made this video. Totally agree that they are just a fun fresh vibe to the metal scene. And Hate/Love is my favorite of their songs

I am in my mid 30's now and made a career change around when I was 30. I am still having a lot of rough patches as I have to get out of my comfort zone. I really thank you for your insightful message @ the end of video since I am having confusions with my decision on changing career.

Pre-watch comment: "the answer is no, it's never too late". Thank you, Finn. Always good to hear that.

Thanks for the facts. I saw your interview too. I know them as a dutch person since mc thunder. I really like and appreciate those guys.

Holy shit yea I just checked and thanks to Finns video and comments I wouldn't have known it got canceled either. Damn...

I'm glad that people aren't trying to cancel them over their past right now. Though I'm also really sad that they had to cancel their appearance on the Level Up tour and hope they can come back to the US next year.

finn, you have a habit of doing these videos where a band I've never heard of quickly become a new favourite... now keen to see Electric Callboy in December

These guys brought fun back into metal and it's blissful to see them get the recognition they deserve. Please make this kind of video about Bloodywood too

Babymetal did it first for the broad audience

Thank you for this, and I really appreciate how you did your research about them. The part about David on Germany's Batchelor was something I will now hunt down. Also, it was great that you went to the source as well by interviewing Kevin. Love your channel, love your knowledge.

So glad to see someone covering this band tho. Been following them since California gurls. Absolutely my favorite band. Love the video!!

I´m happy that a band like Electric Callboy actually exist. Their music is very accessible to the normal crowd, sometimes they have their occasional hard metal, but overall a band that everyone can listen to and laugh and smile. Not a lot of bands can do that mind you. And the fact that they are mature about their past songs and improving them in their new albums is quite dedicated. Yeah, i really like the band. This all proves that you still can make it big no matter your age.

California Gurls is still one of my favourite songs! I have loved this band ever since i found them around 10 years ago. Glad to see them second time next year.

I love the ads on this videos show me new metal music videos I'd never heard before

Bury me in vegas was a really interesting album, mixes of crabcore / metal core songs like bury me in vegas and is anyone up, and then total goof tracks like muffin purper-gurk in the vein of i set my friends on fire. I had the same reaction when hypa hypa came out, immediately went 'Hey, I know those guys!' and I think I listened to this for 2 days straight on repeat..

A 20 minute video about Electric Callboy without mentioning the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest. Good to see that we can look past this desaster and notice that it actually didn't matter, neither for them nor the Metal Scene. I mattered only to the Germans who were robbed of the opportunity to once get a semi decent ranking. And as a German: Yes, it still hurts.

Your last statement hit me hard man.. thx for the positive vibe!

Metalcore + Schlager is like peas and carrots, who knew?

AFI was a band for 10 years at least, maybe 13 before they blew up, respectively, with miss murder.

Yeah, your comment is accurate. It's sad they didn't get more recognition for their best work, but Decemberunderground wasnt bad

I've been following these lads bout as long as Finn has, back in the isanyoneup era and Monsieur moustache vs clitcat. And holy shit they have really grown over the years as musicians, changing the vocalist absolutely gave them the right recipe and from there they've put out banger after banger

I wish I could afford to go to their nyc show. I just found out about them a couple weeks ago and they’ve become one of my favorite bands

Super video. Bon travail, comme souvent !

This is how you do a documentary! Research, interviews, correct pronunciation - great work, sir!

Like you, I first heard them in the early 10s via the Is Anyone Up song. It was such a surreal moment a decade later seeing my boss (who knows I like heavy music) ask me if I’d heard Hypa Hypa.

Awesome analysis!! Hope for a speedy recovery for Nico. Had tickets for their Halloween show in Indiana, but his health and hearing is more important than any show!!

Still remember the first time I heard them. I was looking through my Spotify's weekly playlist and stumbled upon We got the moves. Showed the first minute to my now ex, thinking "wtf is this? ain't my style". But as you said, they did something, because the song stayed in my head. Fast forward to today, and Electric callboy is easily one of my top 3 best band I've listened so far, along with Slayer and Pathfinder (3 bands with VERY different styles)

Thanks for doing this. Yes. The fun is what grabbed me. I played Hypa Hypa and We Got the Moves in the gym before sparring on sparring night. And EVERYONE was pumped and laughing and excited and wanted to know what I was playing before punching and kicking each other in the face.

Discovered them when Hypa Hypa came out. Man, all their old songs are amazing too but this quickly became my favorite band of all time. saw them in Chicago last week. Best night of my life. LOVE YOU KEVIN! TY FOR THE PICTURE TOGETHER!

I've first heard the band in someone's stories on my Facebook. It was Hypa Hypa and made me curious to listen to the full song. First time it was like: WTF is this?? Now, almost a year after it, I just sing Hypa Hypa and the We Got the Moves everywhere hahaha Just love them!!! Very good video, keep it up!

Interesting review from you! However, the singer search was a puplicity stunt. Nico is a close friend of the band and was the singer of "To the Rats and Wolves". The two bands have played many shows together in the past.

"Is anyone up" was my jam back in 2010

Can't lie, I knew them first from the track "Crystals" cause I remember spotify pushing that track to me while listening on shuffle. Like every so often it'd pop up and I was like, I can dig this, added it to a list and kinda forgot somewhat about em. That might have been round '20 or '21....but eventually it threw me more tracks and now I listen to em all the time. The Tekkno album is pretty much a straight listen to all the way. And their videos, yeah they are just fun to watch. I'm glad I already got tickets to see them this year as my city already is sold out. Glad to see their rise.

Me an Oldschool Metalhead - open minded in the meantime but still hated this Fun Metal Stuff that is popular in Germany Then with Covid, sitting at home, listen to YT Clips and than found the new Stuff like "Pump it" and "We got the Moves" Man, i had so much Fun, can't count how often i watched the Videos, Tears in my Eyes and changed completely my Mind and got to the Tour this Year (ok, still hate J.B.O)
