Eskimo Callboy changes their name to Electric Callboy following criticism that the former name was racist

German metalcore band Eskimo Callboy has quickly risen to great popularity. The band’s video “Hypa Hypa” has already been viewed 21 million times on YouTube, the song “We Got The Moves” has been viewed 14 million times and “Pump It” almost 10 million times.

Along with their popularity, the band has reached a large number of people, many of whom have complained about the band’s name. The term Eskimo has been used derogatorily of the Inuit people.

The band has taken the criticism seriously, and changed its name to Electric Callboy.

The band commented:

“Hey friends,

today we have big news for you!

Some of you that watched our last videos might have expected it already, but today is the day that we change our name!

From now on we are ELECTRIC CALLBOY!

Actually we recorded some more videos with lots of more information… but with the senseless violence that is happening to the people of the ukraine at the moment, it just doesn’t feel right to push that topic any further. Still, we don’t wanna wait any longer with our name change with the knowledge we gained during our journey.

So here we go!

We hope you like our new name as much as we do!
