Get ready - Germany’s most successful rock band Tokio Hotel are set to cross the English Channel this summer, and send the youth of Great Britain into a frenzy. Their debut English single ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ is out on August 20th through Fascination Records.The phenomenal impact Tokio Hotel have had across Europe - from France to the Czech Republic - has seen them win a legion of loyal fans and net them a 10 x platinum debut album (Scream).They have had four number one singles in Germany and their debut tour saw them play to over 400,000 people across 43 sold-out dates.Tokio Hotel’s meteoric rise to the top is all the more jaw-dropping given that the average age of the band is just sweet 18. Despite their youth, twin brothers Bill (vocalist) and Tom Kaulitz (guitarist) along with Georg Listing (bassist) and Gustav Schafer (drummer) have already been signed to Universal for five hard-rockin’ years.
They have spoken to a generation of teenagers who identify with their music and ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ is a perfect song to reflect that. It talks about believing in yourself, taking risks and embracing your dreams. The track draws you in with its gentle riff that culminates into a rip-roaring rockin’ chorus.
Tokio Hotel have already gained a UK following from fans who have discovered them via the internet. Many were at the band’s first ever live sold-out UK show last month at London’s Islington Academy, to witness the ecstasy that is Tokio Hotel.
‘Ready, Set, Go!’ is taken from Tokio Hotel’s debut English album ‘Scream’ out August 27th.
