Tokio Hotel is a pop/rock band found in 2001 in Magdeburg, Germany. The twins, Bill and Tom Kaulitz (born in Magdeburg, Germany on 9/1/89) have been performing since the age of 9. After a show in Magdeburg, Bill and Tom met Gustav Schäfer (born 9/8/88) and Georg Listing (born 3/31/87). Their tastes in music soon paved the way to the formation of the band ‘Devilish’. ‘Devilish’ never got signed by a record company but produced one demo.

Bill Kaulitz once appeared in the German Talent Show StarSearch in 2003, where he performed “It’s Raining Men”.

Later in 2003, the group was signed by Peter Hoffmann by Sony BMG in Hamburg. The band was soon called Tokio Hotel (German for Tokyo Hotel) because of the liveliness of the city, and because of the constant touring. Bill Kaulitz co-wrote the majority of the debut album Schrei (Scream) with the help of professionals. Their first single Durch den Monsun (Through The Monsoon) was a success as it hit #1 on the German music charts in 8/26/05. It also hit #1 on the Austrian music charts. Their second single Schrei (Scream) reached #5 on the German music charts and their third single, Rette Mich (Rescue Me), reached #1. Their fourth and last single of their debut album Schrei called Der Letzte Tag (The Last Day) reached #1 too.

Their sophomore album Zimmer 483 (Room 483) was released on 2/23/07.

The funniest thing is that most of the people who don't like Tokio Hotel and come here to make fun of them and their fans probably think that they're better than us because of the music THEY listen to. Maybe they think that they are more intelligent because they listen to, I don't know, Metallica, for example. But they come here to talk SHIT without any criteria in most of the cases. It's really rare to find a real opinion of someone who doesn't like the group, without insults. Personally I think that WE don't do that with that Metallica fans, for example. Who's the ''clever'' one, then? Ain't it funny? I think it is... Well...Whatever.

Their new album is a pure masterpiece which combines elements of jazz with a more avant-gardish sound which reminds also immortal works of contemporary classic music such as Edgar Varèse Poème Electronique smoothed with post-rock and shoegaze elements manteining the harshness given by the influence of grindcore which is also reflected by the group's appearance, all put up together with a magnificent orchestral work and multi-layered choruses which ends in electronic beats speeded up in a speedcore way.
