In a genre that is over-saturated in bands that take themselves way too seriously, it's amazing to see a band having an absolute blast (Pun intended). It's not against metal core laws to enjoy yourselves.
Metal needs more guys who just live to have a laugh. It's why I love these guys, Psychostick, Alestorm, even guys like Infant Annihilator because they're so clearly a parody of deathcore and death metal's over-seriousness.
Kinda. Most bands who have done it previously were pretty cringe, and the music wasn't really that good. I still listened to some tracks here and there, but just for the fun of it rather than them actually being good. Enter Shikari and Electric Callboy, however, are honestly the only 2 bands (from all the bands I've heard) that actually make the music work well, and maybe Crossfaith as well (so 3), who were incredible live when I saw them 10 years ago (though some of their stuff misses the mark).
As you mentioned outfits, I always find that Kevin (and the rest of the band) look like they're dressed up for the funny. They look out of place whatever they wear. Nico however... there's something about him that completely sells it. Pump It is a perfect example of this. It looks like he was born to perform in that fit.
@@metalswifty23 I think that Electric Callboy was already a god band, i saw them in Resurrection Fest 2016, they were in the warm up and nobody know shit anything about them. They destroy the fucking gig, kevin twisted is ankle in the first 5 min and still killed it. If u hear all the albums they grow so much in the sound, and The Scene + Rehab its nearly this sound that i love so much. Its amazing see how they grow so much (VIP or even Nice boi its the best example of what i said)
You're totally right. He's like an actor that sells every part his in. Everytime We Touch... We Got The Moves... Tekkno Train... It's like different person every time, and the person looks like one born to play that part.
As someone who has a soft spot for hardcore and especially Finch, this is exactly what I needed; WBTBWB did a song with Scooter and now EC with Finch, I love it. Need Tommy Cash, Little big and Oliver tree to collab with EC or WBTBWB now
Läuft has scooter on the intro guys, or at the very least the “hardcore” part is a sample of a scooter song, German articles were hyping up the album before release and this was one of the selling points, that scooter was on the Läuft, curiously he’s not credited or a featured artist though 🤔 I’m sure it is him though
In the "behind the scenes" video there is a bit where, I think, Pascal is asked to introduce himself and he says: "What do they say when they are the first man on Mars? Or on the Moon? Hi, I am the first person on a mound in Bottrop." Bottrop being a nearby Ruhr town - with some big old spoil heaps. I laughed my ass off as I grew up watching Dr Who and they did so many things in quarries and on spoil heaps etc.
The name change transition has honestly felt so smooth. It's like they were always called Electric Callboy. And this is exactly what I expect from the boys!
@@Regent192 Not gonna lie, their early work was cringe. Everything before The Scene was. But offensive? I'm not sure. If they did it because they want to distance themselves from the early work, then I get it. Personally, I would see it as a part of my past that made me who I am. I'm not changing my name because I said and did stupid things as a kid. But I get it. But if they did it to avoid being "cancelled" then I can't respect that. It all depends on what the intention was.
@@AutomaticDuck300 Their earlier songs were definitely offensive to most people. Obviously that was the intention, but they changed their name due to them entering into the Eurovision, they wanted a fresh start and clean slate for their band. They changed their name partly due to backlash of past lyrics and that “Eskimo Callboy” is offensive to some people, but it was also due to them wanting a fresh start.
At this point the name change is quite fitting. Their pre MC thunder Stuff is Eskimo Callboy and everything after that Is electric. I love it even tho they have less and less to do with what they used to be.
@@supremelordoftheuniverse5449 “Eskimo” is literally a slur. It’s a derogatory term for Inuit natives that means snow eater. It’s not woke, it’s sense.
@@therileyobrien look, the literal meaning isn’t that relevant. The main point is it’s a derogatory terms. Whether you think it’s woke or not, whatever. How is removing a slur from your name woke? It’s no different from if they changed from “n word callboy”
Btw just for your information: the blblblblblbl part at 1:36 is a reference to the 1981 Movie "La Soupe aux choux" where an alien arrives on earth and the protagonist feeds him cabbage soup (which he totally loves) Kohlkopf = cabbage head "Jetzt sind die Kohlköpfe da" = "Now the cabbage heads are here" another reference to the movie as the movie was named "Louis und seine außerirdischen Kohlköpfe" (Louis and his alien cabbage heads")
If you go watch the Tank the Tech reaction he subtitled the German parts. makes the song so much better. Nik been loving your stuff lately and you have joined my reaction rotation. Side note I used to live in T.O. as well, but I've since moved back north. Small world EH?
Got to know the Callboys just about a month ago and fell in love with their music and their comedy. And an extra treat are the reactions on UA-cam, so a new song means an extra treat for me, seeing you and others enjoy it as well 💙 The video was directed by the Schillo brothers btw, the same guys behind their other videos of the past couple years. And I agree, they really went above and beyond with the production value this time!
Hey Nic, did you hear of "Welcome to Raveland" by EC? It's a song they've produced for a German show and there is an unofficial version of it on UA-cam, a reaction to it would be awesome!
liked their previous stuff already, but this one has to be my fav so far, the chorus is just another lvl of catchyness, even for their standards... gotta love them
These guys never miss, different name same THWOMP. Hey Nik, can you react to Bury tomorrow - DEATH (ever colder), they got a new clean vocalist and they’ve really stepped up their sound, they’re also a local band who’ve always been friendly to me 🤘🏼
Since you mentioned who made the video, all of their Videos are produced by Paskal Schillo (guitarist of EC) and his brother Oliver Schillo. They have a Video Production Company known as "Schillo Brothers" and thats the Deal. The Band and Oliver workinbg out a concept and then Paskal and Oliver producing the Videos in the end. Its nearly crazy how much work these guys are doing on their own, not only Musical-vise. Hope i could help get some more knowledge and all the best from Germany :)
Because good record labels understand the benefit of reaction exposure. Quality channels like Nik or Tank get access to the video before it is released to the public, for this exact purpose.
I guess I've set my standards too high and found this one missing the punch the other 3 have. But hey those 3 were the 3 most epic songs I've heard in the past years, songs that almost changed my life, it's impossible for them to sustain that quality ! The German rapping this the most hilarious part of it though.
i'm enjoying it more with each listen, especially Finch's bit, I think it's the best part of the song even though I didn't understand a word lol. But I agree, it's not as good as Hypa Hypa, Pump It and we got the moves and MC thunder. But you can't just keep making better and better songs, and it was still a great time :D
I love that they had a twi lek from Star Wars. Also If you haven’t heard of them before, you should look up nekrogoblikon. They make goblin metal and so underrated.
*I love this band*
same
And I love your reaction 🤘🏻🔥 needed this!
I 2x love this band
Breakdown Callboy! 💥
Why did they change their name?

Amen to this! Fun, enjoyable and also make great songs!
Deffo check don broco - not really metal, but I don’t know any other band who has as much fun as them (and callboy ofc)
These guys and Ice Nine Kills!
@@metalswifty23 Steel Panther and Nanowar Of Steel
The breakdown call-out is "viva la Elton John". Incredible
Iconic
I always heard "viva la india"
Seeing non-Germans react to Finch is so surreal😂
Ich war so verwirrt 😂😂
We are used to it at this point with Rammstein and some other ones I guess
The three fastest things on Universe:
1. Nik posting reactions
2. Electric Callboy spacecraft
3. Light
4. Finch's awololololoko
The boys just keep fucking popping out BANGERS
They are starting to sound the same in every song though yeah?
@@bennyhaha66 yeah, that's why I like them, they're consistent
@@codybuchanan6466 That's like saying you like a stand up comic cuz he keeps telling the same jokes...
@@bennyhaha66 It's really not. A stand up comedian tends to tell different jokes in the same manner they did before, too.
Finch is a german rapper but he makes a lot of hardbass stuff, so they just had to make a song together and i think they made a pretty good job
Ngl when I saw “finch” I immediately thought the emo band reunited
It's currently 2:15am here in Australia, I should be sleeping, but Electric Callboy is worth staying up for! 🤟
Same lmao
Same here, 2:47am now
Damn, its only 9:21 in Ethiopia
Cheers man and greetings from germany
same lul. Its 2:07 am.
Me, who already heard it a few hours ago on Spotify:
- I can't fucking wait for it!!!
Same 😂
Facts, heard the song on Spotify, couldnt wait for the video.
at this rate I only expect Nik to react to songs even before they come out
I like that they added parts from other songs like "Eins Zwei Polizei" and russian hardbass, legends
Was ist los was ist das
@@8tonystark8 ja ja ja was ist los? was ist das?
If I feel the need to hear someone else's reaction to a song, then you know it slaps.
Metal and EDM is a combination made in heaven lol

Nico however... there's something about him that completely sells it. Pump It is a perfect example of this. It looks like he was born to perform in that fit.
He was their missing ingredient, both sound-wise and looks-wise. He's the key to send them to the stratosphere.

SPACEMAN, GOT A ROCKET ON MY BACK
I’ve listened to this song literally 14 times since 8am this morning
The chorus is so annoyiingly amazing 😂
I'm absolutely obsessed. Have been since I saw "We Got The Moves", went back and just went through all of it. I love them.
That's Eskimo callboy
@@lukaswoodruff9427 now their name is Electric Callboy
@@Turbo-ic8lw I know I saw
@@lukaswoodruff9427 okay then I missunderstood your comment 🍻
@@Turbo-ic8lw well when I posted that comment I didn't know they changed their name. But I looked them up again and realized they changed it
This band. This band... Regardless of name, they have me absolutely hooked as a fan, and I F**KING LOVE IT!!!
I must admit I didn't know Finch before, but he did a great job in this song 🔥
Well, as non-german speaker its hard to know him. ^^
@@deathcabformikey Same lmao I got so hyped up. Great song tho xD
Great german rapper with an interest in Gabba / Techno/Hardbass himself.
listen to ABFAHRT right now!
@@Dosenpruegel I'm German too, but I didn't know him, but I know the emo band finch. Höre aber auch nicht besonders viel Rap. Soviel dazu.

Is that a pun for 20kmh or did wbtbwb actually do a song with scooter
whats the WBTBWB song with scooter?
@@wobo7275 Läuft, he does the intro
Yeah, i kinda need to know if WBTBWB actually did a song with Scooter
Läuft has scooter on the intro guys, or at the very least the “hardcore” part is a sample of a scooter song, German articles were hyping up the album before release and this was one of the selling points, that scooter was on the Läuft, curiously he’s not credited or a featured artist though 🤔 I’m sure it is him though
ah yes, my favourite genre, german hardbass-core
everything from these guys just gets better and better oh my god
Saw them live last tuesday in Belgium, they’re INSANE live! Their music translates superb Into a live concert setting 🔥
I second this wholeheartedly! They were epic live!
Yep, was a 4am wake up in New Zealand just for this song. Love this band so much. They get you pumped and motivated to jam to.
I love how towards the end of the breakdown Nik somehow combines pure glee and stankface perfectly.
I love the Deutsch action in this
How are they so consistent with these bangers? I love this band.
In the "behind the scenes" video
there is a bit where, I think,
Pascal is asked to introduce himself
and he says:

I had a bad week and I needed this more than I realized. Just a pure ball of fun! 💙
It’s not even been 15 min since the official release…XD
Love you ❤️

Because good record labels understand the benefit of reaction exposure. Quality channels like Nik or Tank get access to the video before it is released to the public, for this exact purpose.
1:47 I like how they casually just put in a Twi'Lek from Star Wars.
Everything about this band is beautiful
WoW Alex Hefner did this one 15 seconds before you nik😂😂😭😭😂😂
As a german i love Finch and the Callboys and i also love this song 🤘
I listen to these guys everyday since I found them this is amazing
1:34 direct Stevie T influence
Bullet for my Valentine released a new song called Omen
Making my week . This band Is honestly making some of the most exciting singles right now
Video is always god-tier with EC and killing with the music as always
The clean chorus bits are very reminiscent of MC Thunder to me 🤘🏼
Love your reactions Nik! Its always fun when Electric Callboy puts out a new album! 👍😁🙌
man I'm so hypped to see them in France in september
New song make me dancing the MV always funny,changing a name band is good idea,
i'm really love it rapping part and then that's breakdown so sick
I've been waiting so long for finch and EC to collab, it was definitely worth the wait 💯
I have listened to this song 6 times in a row... and I cant stop fucking dancing.

EC is amazing man. So catchy. These guys would be amazing to watch live
Reminds me of 30h!3 jamming with Abandon All Ships. Insanely catchy
I love when their songs come up in my playlist just springled in there its fun asf fuck
I like the very small star wars references with the green Twi'lek looking Alien
They nailed it 💯. EC always fun and heavy 🤘🔥
When he sings "Spaceman" it reminds me of Charlie from It's Always Sunny singing "Dayman."
It is so cool That you Listen to German Music.
Another Band which Hits different is From Fall to Spring
Bro, these guys are awesome! Love the mixing of the genres!
Aaahhh callboy always slapping with their singles these guys are pure fire
I’ve honestly had this song stuck in my head since I first heard it and I just learned to play it, so fucking fun
I love that they had a twi lek from Star Wars. Also If you haven’t heard of them before, you should look up nekrogoblikon. They make goblin metal and so underrated.
My love for this band cannot be imagined. The universe would explode an time would stop if it could be scaled.
That was fast.🤘🏻🔥
That was quick.
I think we need to appreciate the musicianship to make such a goofy song truly epic.
Chorus sounds a lot like MC Thunder 1 (the cadillac one) but its all good, this track is a worthy addition to their modern catalogue.
it reminded me of we got the moves
I spent all of last night sick and barfing so watching this really helps! Thanks Nik!
I've been listening to this since drop, everyday! It's so good! 😆😆😆
They became one of my favourite bands so fast, hypa hypa then made them so popular with the style of it but i cant keep wanting more XD
So fast! Exciting!
These guys never disappoint!
Chorus souds like Dayman from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I saw em live this evening, it’s a fucking party! If you ever get the chance to see em live, do not hesitate
