Band ohne Namen (English translationBand Without Name, also known asB.O.N., previously known under the nameDie Allianz) was a duo composed of Guy Gross and Claus Capek, both fromGermany. They are most famous for theirhip-pop record "Boys", which charted in many European countries in2000. The song also peaked at number 79 in Australia 2001.[1]
The original version of "Boys" as featured on their debut album,No. 1, consisted of lyrics formed byGerman verses interrupted by anEnglish chorus. The single became a hit after it was translated fully into English, which spurred their next album,B.O.N. in the USA, which was an all-English version ofNo. 1.
The follow-up English single "Nobody" was not as successful, and did not enter the English charts, although it featured on the UKMTV Hits music channel. Their follow-up track in German, "Take My Heart", was certified gold in Germany.
Their third albumSee My Life, was the duo's last album before their split in2003.
Guy Gross went on to release an EP in2005 calledNothing to Lose aka Nichts zu Verlieren.
