Bangbros

Bangbros is a German hands-up duo formed in February 2005. The duo consists of Frank Brauer (aka Franky B.) and Kruegel (aka Bangboy or O-Mind).

Before joining forces, both members were already active in the music scene. Kruegel produced his first single in 1995 and achieved major success in 2001 with I Engineer, which reached the top of the German charts. Prior to that, he had released work on labels such as Evolver, Kontor Records, Tunnel Records, and Universal Music.

Their first joint single, Say Hello, was released in 2005 on Aqualoop Records. Their career quickly gained momentum, leading them to perform in more than 150 concerts per year across Europe.

In September 2008, they founded their own label, Hammer Tracks. To mark a decade of activity, the duo released the compilation Bangbros – 10 Years of Hands Up in late 2015, bringing together tracks recorded over that ten-year period.
