Nice reaction. Always a pleasure to find new Electric Callboy reactors. I hope you consider reacting to more Electric Callboy songs. 😄🙃
I made it my little 'mission' to ease new reactors into the lore of EC a bit. So, if you want to take a look at what EC have done so far, you will have to catch up to 14 years of band history. If you want a short synopsis of their career, here are some of the bullet points (centering more around the bands background): [‼Attention: Wall of text/Info dump ahead‼]
💖The band was founded in 2010 as Eskimo Callboy by six guys from Castrop-Rauxel a former coal mining city in the eastern part of the Ruhr Area within the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany
💙Name change in 2022 to Electric Callboy - they explain the reasons in two videos on their UA-cam page.
💛In 2020 their singer Sebastian 'Sushi' Biesler left the band to found his new project 'Ghostkid' and was replaced by Nico Sallach a longtime friend of the band whose own Band (To The Rats And Wolfs) was newly disbanded at the time.
💜The introduction single for Nico 'Hypa Hypa' was also the international breakthrough for the band. Since then they had headline tours in Europe, USA (sold out) and Australia (sold out). Electric Callboy in its current manifestation is an absolute LIVE-Band! They truly shine on the stage - give it a try and watch a live concert. Like this one from 2022, they played in a relatively small venue, a mix of old (Sushi) and new (Nico) Songs: ua-cam.com/video/5BPCHuHZuqc/v-deo.html Live footage of Sushi-era EC is way rarer, because… well, let's put it diplomatically: sometimes his signature intensity was a bit much and tampered with the live quality.
❤They never stuck to one genre and were counted as Metalcore, Trancecore, Post-Hardcore, Electronic Rock… and recently the internet dubbed them Partycore. They combine metal/metalcore with influences from EDM/Techno, Pop and frankly nearly every imaginable genre of music. The general sound changed somewhat with the joining of Nico, as his clean rock, almost pop-sounding voice is distinctly different to Sushi's emo/punk-rock voice. With Sushi EC sounded rougher and a little harder in general, but I think this sound isn't lost. If you listen to the new songs in a live setting, it will be evident that even the songs of Tekkno sound way harder if the guys play them live on stage - prime example would be Spaceman.
The guys always said they would make music which suites their personal mood at the time of writing and since 2020 and the pandemic and all the restriction that came with it, they made mainly fun/comedic music as a kind of therapy for them and their audience. Nevertheless, their catalog includes some really divers sounds; the funny ones are easy to find and most commenters or a quick YT search will suggest them anyways, so I will list some of the more serious songs for you in no particular, definitely not complete order:
🔹My Own Summer 🔹Best Day ft. Sido 🔹Back in the Bizz 🔹Crystals (the only Song I really like better with Sushi's Voice) 🔹Rehab 🔹VIP 🔹The Scene ft. Fronz 🔹Shallows (also a good Sushi-Song) 🔹Supernova 🔹Made by America 🔹Hate/Love 🔹Prism 🔹Mindreader 🔹Parasite 🔹Neon
Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with any EC song, there are very few that aren’t killer and non that are bad.
Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥🖖

🎶 If you want the deep deep-dive into EC-world I would recommend the 'Making of…'-videos and the Tour Vlogs on their own YT channel or on TankTheTech's channel. Tank is a professional roadie, who turned reactor during the pandemic. He contacted the band for some interviews and they became friends, it grew to the point that he was their tour manager on the North America tour last year and since this year is their assistant TM globally…
🚩 Links to a host of EC-related UA-cam videos can be found on my channel, there are some playlists which will shorten the search (hopefully).
How good Tee!! You are handsome! 🌱👍
Babymetal and Electric Callboy met last year when Babymetal went to see EC play in Boston while they were on their own world tour and apparently they met backstage, so they probably got talking there and decided to make song together and this amazing song is the result.
They performed this live at FOX_FEST in Tokyo last weekend and I can attest that it absolutely went off live because I was in the mosh pit on both days and it was complete mayhem! Both bands looked they were having a great time performing together, and given how successful the song is, I suspect another collab is a real possibility in future.
The perfect song to smile, laugh and have fun just like you love to do.🦊🤘🐭
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I fortunately witnessed the live debut and the second performance of RATATATA by BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy together in the two-day Fox_Fest on May 25 / 26 in Japan. Fun, happy, exhilarating, bubbly... Those words I could think of, as you can imagine. The song was played in the BABYMETAL's setlist in the festival. So the band in the back of the girls and Nico / Kevin was BM's West Kami Band in place of EC band that played in this MV. On this 50:50 collaboration basis, that was great, too. The interchangeability between the two versatile bands is good. EC boys can join BM concerts and BM girls can show up in EC's worldwide 😍
Is it just a coincidence that the two bands are to perform on the same days in the same places in several European festivals in June ?
(Just FYI, BABYMETAL also performed "Brand New Day" with Scott and Tim from POLYPHIA in the festival. You reacted to that song before. That was amazing, too.)
Foxfest was such a great experience! It rounded up my Japan trip perfectly :D It even made up for the 5-6 days I had been sick.
EC and Babymetal seem to be made for collaborations, Nico and Su sound so well together it is insane, I hope this wasn't the last time we've been blessed with a song from them!
@@RenegadeSamurai Well said! Thank you💛
These days I want to open the door and scream rattata rattata!😁😁😁
👍Great reaction. This awesome collaboration for me rivals Kingslayer and Leave It All Behind. What to listen too🤔. Well, if you have a banana split with three of your favorite ice cream flavors, you enjoy all three😋. This was so special, joy, fun x💯. Suzuka, Moa and Momoko are unleashed!! 🦊 🦊 🦊 🖖❤
Best collaboration ever. Check out Electric Callboy if you haven't already. Start with "We got the moves". Love your Ghibli t-shirt. Liked and subscribed. 🤘🦊🤘
_Hips don't lie_ is a reference to a Shakira song. The other band is Electric Callboy. They brought the fun to the video.
BABYMETA〜a〜a〜a〜L〜🔥 🇯🇵 🇩🇪 ❤ 🦊🤘🦊🤘㊗
They performed this LIVE together last week at Fox Fest in Japan. The sold out crowds of 20,000+ each of the 2 nights went nuts
