History & Name Change
Formed in 2010, the band gained a loyal fan base with their “crabcore” style and party-metal tunes. They became Electric Callboy in 2022, after shedding the former name Eskimo Callboy. This change helped them dodge a ethnic slur and step away from early work that was seen as not so culturally sensitive.
Breakthrough & Success
In 2020, their career took off with the gold-certified single “Hypa Hypa”. It was a viral hit that led to sold-out tours and big festivals, even their own in Germany called Escalation Fest. In 2022, their album TEKKNO hit #1 in the German charts. They’ve conquered global charts with viral song covers, like Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch,” and collabs, such as the huge 2024 hit “RATATATA” with BABYMETAL.
Musical Identity
Their sound blends metal, EDM, and pop hooks, filled with humor and intense energy. Songs like “Hypa Hypa,” “We Got the Moves,” and “Pump It” show off heavy riffs and dance beats along with playful charm. Every track is a wild party — chaotic, loud, and totally fun.
Fan Connection
The band’s community is all about joy, inclusivity, and collective craziness. Fans don’t just listen; they join in too. Electric Callboy created a culture where metal and mischief meet, from viral dance challenges to sold-out tours – everyone’s welcome!
Legacy
Electric Callboy is redefining both metalcore and fun in heavy music. From Eskimo Callboy, their name change shows growth, creativity, and a refusal to be confined. They stand for laughter and freedom, adding an electrifying pulse to modern metal.
