Trivia

Sometimes, the members of Beatsteaks, instead of playing their usual instruments, transform into a cover band known as Die Roys. As Die Roys, they swap instruments and cover what they claim are "the best songs ever written.

Band

An energetic, yet grounded punk band based out of Berlin, Beatsteaks currently consists of original members Bernd Kurtzke and Peter Baumann, as well as Thomas Götz, Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß and Torsten Scholz. Originally a hardcore punk band, Beatsteaks has transitioned into a more unique alternative and pop punk sound, incorporating a variety of instruments and drum loops into its newer tracks.

Breakthrough

Beatsteaks experienced moderate success in Germany from the beginning, but did not become an international sensation until after signing with the Hollywood-based record label Epitaph. After releasing two albums with the independent label, Beatsteaks had its first big hit Smack Smash simultaneously released by Epitaph and Warner.

Hit Albums

Beatsteaks' debut full-length album -- 48/49 -- was named after the space in which the band rehearsed in its early days. The tracks featured on this debut release were more hardcore punk than those that would follow in future albums. For example, sophomore album Launched was best known for its half-acoustic cover of Manowar's Kings of Metal. This evolution continued with Living Target, which featured several slower, more melodic pieces. Smack Smash was more of a mainstream album than the group's previous releases; it featured several callbacks to Ramones-style punk. Further experimentation took place in .limbo messiah, with a few tracks featuring infusions of R&B style.

After a brief break from the recording studio, Beatsteaks returned with Boom Box, a catchy album with a slightly eccentric sound. The group's self-titled album Beatsteaks offered several interesting instrumental additions, including memorable xylophone melodies.
