History

Killerpilze was formed in October 2002 in Dillingen an der Donau. They came upon the name while they were eating pizza. In their early years, Killerpilze sang in both English and German, and toured their local area. The three band members have balanced their ongoing primary education and recording activities.
On July 7, 2004, the group recorded its first album Von vorne durch die Punkalle. They performed in small concert halls until Universal Music noticed them and received a record deal. In 2005, they recorded their first official album Invasion der Killerpilze. In spring 2006, their debut single "Richtig Scheiße" reached #17 in Germany.
On July 27, 2007, the band released its second album Mit Pauken und Raketen. This album peaked to 19 in the German charts.
In July 2008, their song "Verrockt" is used in the German soundtrack of Camp Rock.
In 2010, the band created its own label, KillerpilzeRecords. On February 12 of the same year, the first single "Drei" from their third album Lautonom was released. In the end of 2010, the group returned to the studio and recorded their fourth album Ein Bisschen Zeitgeist.

The band has contributed to campaigns such as Kein Bock auf Nazis, and Punk Macht Schule, which helps to build schools in Ethiopia.
