Their 2005 debut single "Durch den Monsun" shot straight to number one in Germany and Austria, launching one of the most successful German rock exports since Rammstein. Over seven studio albums the band shifted from emo-tinged pop rock toward electropop, racking up more than 10 million records sold, 70+ platinum awards, and over 110 national and international prizes including multiple MTV Europe Music Awards.
