ItaloBrothers is a German dance project from Nordhorn, Germany. The band consists of: vocalist Matthias Metten, who works in the studio with Zacharias Adrian (also known as Zac McCrack) and Christian Müller (also known as Kristian Sandberg). They are most successful in Scandinavia and Central Europe, but also go on tour in Eastern Europe. They release all their songs on Zooland Records.
The general musical style of ItaloBrothers (except "My Life Is a Party" and "This Is Nightlife") is comparable with dance bands or artists, mostly from Italy, like Bloom 06, Prezioso, Floorfilla, Gigi D'Agostino, Gabry Ponte or some releases of DJ Manian and has influences of Italo dance, hands up and jumpstyle. They were also compared to Scooter.
In contrast to this, the music style of their singles "Cryin' In The Rain", "My Life Is a Party" and "This Is Nightlife" is mostly influenced by commercial European dance music like house and electro. This style can be compared to artists like R.I.O., 2010s releases of Manian and Cascada, and Mike Candys.
The band was founded in November 2005, after the three band members having already made music together since 2003. Their first official release was "The Moon", an italo-dance track released in July 2006 on an EP by their label Zooland called Zooland Italo EP. In 2007, they gained growing popularity with the release of "Moonlight Shadow", a cover version of the 1980 release of the same name by Mike Oldfield and a cooperation with German dance group Tune Up! called "Colours of the Rainbow". In 2006 and 2007, they also released various remixes of songs by other musicians for which they re-recorded the vocals and published them as "Italobrothers New Voc Rmx". Their next two releases, "Counting Down the Days" and "Where Are You Now?", established a fanbase throughout Europe.
