When you use the word "fun" 7 times to express the loss of feelings, I guess it wasn't that fun... I was content seeing a reaction where you were a bit uncomfortable, it gave it real value, as it wasn't fake and just kind towards a band that we all know you love... Not saying that it wasn't a nice, vibey song on its own accord, of course, and well done to EC / Conquer for the collab
What I love about EC currently is the fact they're just having fun and you can feel that. They don't try to please anyone, they don't try to fit a certain image. Every song feels like, they woke up felt a certain way that day, did it and then they're pumped what the next day brings. Their older stuff was geniously good already, but now, with Nico, they really took it up a notch and revisiting their and our youth - i think - is exactly what makes them so incredibly attractive to us right now.
this went from blink-182 and MCR and ADTR to Avril Lavigne and Paramore to Billie Eilish to MGK and modern pop music for a second and then like a mix of all.. this is really amazing!
@@blakerunyon8523 Let me tell you why: Because of youtube copyright system. Nik seems to get over it easily somehow, but I know a few reaction youtubers (I tried it myself too) and without stopping every few seconds, youtube just marks the video as demonetized/blocked in some countries/block to the entire world. And it's infuriating. It's just a way to prevent this from happening. I tried recording 7 reactions in the past, and when I uploaded them on youtube - 5 of them were completely blocked for this exact reason. When I cut out most of the song and left me speaking - the videos were totally fine. I gave up easily after that
This one is extra rare bc Kevin is playing the keys in this one. Now, as the die hard Spandau Ehre fans already know, Kevin does actually do all of those catchy key licks. It’s in all the recordings and live it’s running along with the click-track. You never see him doing this before, mostly bc he’s always the screamer, preforming as a dual frontman. But , next to being the funny tough guy, he is versatile. First time on cam in a clip doing his “band-musisian job” and still with his grunts underneath Nico’s cleans where ever needed. I’d say the most underrated screamer in the Metalcore scene!
Are they out of their comfort zone though? Pop punk is very much an intersection of what they have recently been doing. Additionally, they grew up in the era of pop punk so they'd be familiar with it
@@Dr.Spatula could argue they're not completely out of their comfort zone as such but definitely not something they've performed, wrote in the past and are away ftom their usual electro metal what ever genre you'd class them 🤣 also could be more of a comfort zone of what gets them the listens/views consistently personally I would prefer to listen to their other stuff than this.
I was thrown off big time by the way Electric Callboy usually throw down, but man, I was one of those pop punk skater kids jamming to Blink and Sum 41 back in the day. This just hit all the right nostalgic feels. Also, Conquer Divide SLAYED.
I went from massively hyped to confused to "ok even though it's not what I came here for, they still rock" and I feel like you shared the sentiment haha
I feel like a school girl again after listening to this song - and my school years are gone for about 15 years 😂 The more often I listen to the song, the more I like it. Great reaction, Nik, as always :)
.......they did a whole band name change to appeal to the Eurovision Song Contest. Did a whole fuzz about how "Eskimo" is such an offensive word. They started doing more and more pop stuff and generic rock crap to be able to be played on the radio. They still got declined by the Eurovision Song Contest and now they are stuck with the hole they dug themselves into. They suck ever since they got that new singer that cant even scream.
@@DiamondDead yeah, they definately suck since the new singer. Thats why their most popular songs are with the new singer. Only because you don`t like it, doesn't mean that it's bad. And how is "Hypa,Hypa", "Pump it", "Spaceman" and "We got the Moves" generic rock?
@@DiamondDead fully agree. They bowed down to the mainstream and cancel culture. If you don't do it for the money for what else? They lost the respect of many people. And the hate for such behavior is just fine and righteous. In Germany we call such people "Heuchler" and spineless. And thats it actually.
@@DiamondDead if they would've sold their souls they would've made a song like Fuckboi for the ESC. But they went for 'Pump it' which is still relatively heavy for what they have planned with it and ESC.
that nostalgia hits hard but that song leaves nothing but a good, warm feeling. EC is some kind of Dr. Feel good. I like this especially in those though times.
I stumbled across this band in my feed a few months ago and they’ve quickly become one of my favourite bands currently. I love they’re variety and their goofiness also, nothing but a good time!!
EC simply cant miss. Lead for Conquer sexy AF too. They sounded great as well. Definitely 00s vibe and im here for it. I too wa waiting for a small Kevin breakdown somewhere but I knew there would be a mix of sounds on this album and i cant wait to see them live
Another cool part about the music video: all the people partying in the background are fans they invited for the shoot! And they were soooo chill and cool :D
So fucking awesome to see Conquer Divide rocking it with the guys! Those girls go hard, awesome to see both bands tell a fun story and bring back the fun 2000's vibes.
electric callboy be like: "this genre is quite fun" and then one of two things happen: 1. can we mix this with other genres? 2. can we do a fun song in this genre. and in both cases a goddamn masterpiece is created.
This was my introduction into Electric Callboy over the last month or so. I've listened to more of them and found like five or six songs I absolutely love.
Oh yes, they are definitely around again and killing every new release they put out. All three singles they have put out since their return have been so good.
I think the idea was to go with a pop-punk styled song with the specific title to poke fun at the MGKs of the world. I think it was highly intentional and the irony is in the quality of production and musicality.
Haha, I hate when people think like that. Pastiche is not the same thing as parody. They're doing this because they want money. That is the point. There is no irony, it is just them trying to get actual zoomer Spotify numbers, not just "good for metal". I am all for that, they know exactly what they're doing and they want the bag. Good shit.
In the industry, you make songs by stealing two things. This song is 2003 by As It Is and Bite Me by Avril Lavigne smashed together, played by Eskimo Callboy, with the added twist of the Somebody I Used To Know dynamic. Literally, check them out. The double chorus thing and video is 2003 and she literally steals the entire melody of Bite Me by Avril.
I already watched the official video but I'm always hyped to see other peoples reaction but while watching your reaction I notcied that I got the exact same shirt as pascal (you can see it best at 0:25) just this kind of squilly written and white "fuck" sprayed over with that pink spray paint. Well seems like it wasn't the wrong decision to buy it lol
Thanks Nik now I can’t watch any reaction to this video without seeing the “nice” meme at the part where it belongs 😂😂 this is my third time watching your reaction because that one part makes me laugh SO hard
This is perfected “electric call boy” they’re not only finding their sound now but have also been trying to find it for 13 years I’ve been listing to “Eskimko call boy” since 2008-2014 when I first heard about them the fact that they’re going on longer than my family relationship is crazy I love this band more than I love my family music teaches me more than they ever have
@@HeavyMetal-jy4vj MGK wouldn't have been able to make this song without sneaking in a voice-cracking "yuh" and sounding completely stoned on the chorus.
This song is amazing paramore/chunk no captain chunk vibes & the vocalist of conquer divide voice like avril lavigne and then i love this song so much 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 but I disagree with that statement and that is 100% inaccurate there's alot of great Pop punk bands that are awesome so you don't know what you're talking about
Felt very much in the same boat - enjoyed it, just not quite as much as their 'base' sound (and I live for Blink 182 still - but I get my pop-punk from others, I was quite happy for EC to give me something very different with the likes of Pump It & Spaceman)
This song has so many Avril Lavigne vibes... I love this. Well done to Electric Callboy and Conquer Divide. Never heard of the latter, but this made me check them out. Not disappointed. Not in the slightest.
Somehow i feel like they made this song just to show that they can write a better pop punk song than some other certain "punk" musicians..that have pink guitars..
I'm excited for this album. Hurrikan is the shortest song with just over 1 1/2 minutes, so I'm expecting either an interlude or a full on oldschool (or New school) Hardcore song ... would be fun too I reckon
Hey Nik, for me this is like a `make fun of a genre style` music vid, lead singer of electric callboy has that Logan Paul look, and lead of conquer the avril lavinge look and voice style
When I heard the intro riff I immediately thought "nickelback??" And then when she hit that first "whoa ah oh" in the first chorus, that also set a bell off in my head from another song but I can't put my finger on it. It happens in the older song right before the chorus. And also a girl singing the old one. Somebody please tell me cause I can't remember it for my life. Anyway, I wonder if they did either of those on purpose or just a happy little accident
*This was fun*
We need some conquer divide reactions now! Atonement, At War, Self Destruct just to name a few

When you ever hate your guitar and need a reason to burn it, then you have to check out the new "berried alive" song "our own light"!
Bro you should react to resolve emerald skies my dude.
Please react to Atonement by Conquer Divide! These ladies need to blow up!!
Thanks for the review Nik! 😘 this was a super fun throwback song for us 🙌🏻
Been following you guys since before your first album, can't wait for the next one!
This was great! In love with your voice
Love this song. Seein the way u guys traded off when playing was awesome. Plus, melodies & the chemistry was great.
Love you guys. I have a video from when one of you kinda pushed a guy off stage during a set in NYC LMAO
Great chemistry, loved the song

This just shows the versatility of the band and how they can basically write a 5* song in any genre. Now I want to hear BaroqueCore!
Keygen Church/Master Boot Record and Igorrr are making quality Baroque-core
They need to make a music video that takes place in a deli with a food fight.
Yeah, they definitely need a good meat slap in the future.
We had a glimpse of that in MC Thunder2 at the asian place....
And call the track Sausage Party
This is the best suggestion ever.
if they ever made a music video for their 2 Fat 2 Furious song in 2016
This song is so catchy af
and her voice is totally unexpectedly amazing
Never thought I'd see them go pop punk but I'm there for it! Definitely has their fun factor so makes sense in that way.
Definitely not what I expected but pretty decent always good to see bands out of their comfort zone and still do it decent
Are they out of their comfort zone though? Pop punk is very much an intersection of what they have recently been doing. Additionally, they grew up in the era of pop punk so they'd be familiar with it

if you werent their during their album "the scene", that is definitely their comfort zone still lol
Honestly they could do literally any kind of rock music and still sound good when they give their own spin on it.
I was thrown off big time by the way Electric Callboy usually throw down, but man, I was one of those pop punk skater kids jamming to Blink and Sum 41 back in the day. This just hit all the right nostalgic feels. Also, Conquer Divide SLAYED.
this song weird fun and chonky at the same time
and also I never heard before about Conquer Divide so thank you *Nic* for new band to the playlist
I went from massively hyped to confused to "ok even though it's not what I came here for, they still rock" and I feel like you shared the sentiment haha
this is my favorite since we got the moves. it's simple but refreshing and well made, and I love the harmonies and everything.
I feel like a school girl again after listening to this song - and my school years are gone for about 15 years 😂 The more often I listen to the song, the more I like it. Great reaction, Nik, as always :)
you can clearly see that they do it cause they enjoy it and not just for the money

Whooooop conquer divide :D Such a great band.
YOu need to check out some of the new tunes they put out over last few years
You knew exactly what you were doing with that thumbnail Nik.

This is surprisingly my favorite one since We Got the Moves
I think it's really good that they mix up the styles. Even though I loved every song since Hypa Hypa, they we kinda sameish.
