Electric Callboy have released their new single “Let the Good Times Roll,” featuring The Offspring‘s Dexter Holland — the latest preview of their forthcoming album TANZNEID, due August 7.
The track pairs Electric Callboy’s genre-blurring electronicore — metalcore breakdowns colliding with glowstick-ready techno drops and grin-inducing pop hooks — with Holland’s unmistakable tenor, the kind of voice behind “Come Out and Play,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1994, and “Self Esteem,” which peaked at No. 4 on the same chart.
The collaboration marks a full-circle moment for the German band, who cite The Offspring as a foundational influence. “The Offspring have been one of the bands that shaped us from the very beginning,” Electric Callboy said in a statement. “Their music was part of our lives long before Electric Callboy even existed, so having Dexter on this song honestly feels surreal.”
Holland was equally enthusiastic about the pairing. “When Electric Callboy sent us the track, it immediately put a grin on our faces,” he said.
“It’s energetic, unpredictable and doesn’t take itself too seriously — exactly the kind of spirit we’ve always loved about punk and rock music. I had a blast being part of ‘Let the Good Times Roll.’”
The single arrives as Electric Callboy kick off their European festival season, with major appearances at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park this week. The TANZNEID World Tour also includes an Australian leg in September, presented by Destroy All Lines, with Ice Nine Kills and Coldrain as special guests.
The run opens at RAC Arena in Perth on Sept. 4, followed by AEC Arena in Adelaide on Sept. 6, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sept. 8, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Sept. 10, and Riverstage in Brisbane on Sept. 12 and 13 — with the Sept. 12 date already sold out. Tickets are on sale now via destroyalllines.com.
Formed in Germany in 2010, Electric Callboy have grown into one of heavy music’s most genre-defying global acts on the strength of viral hits including “Hypa Hypa,” “We Got the Moves” and “RATATATA” featuring BABYMETAL. Their 2022 album TEKKNO amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. TANZNEID is pre-order available now.
