Tokio Hotel is Hitz.FM's current Artist on Fire! Besides that, there are a number of new, SUPER CLEAR messages that the band recorded especially for Hitz.FM! These messages play throughout the day.

I haven't heard all of them yet, just one. It goes something like this: "Hey, we are TOKIO HOTEL. JJ and Ean are like a potion. We gotta have them every day!"

JJ and Ean are the Hitz.FM Morning Crew (6-10am on weekdays!) and it is believed that the band recorded different messages for different Hitz.FM segments (Drivethru with Natalie, Hitz Party with Jin...) Recordings will be posted once we've rounded them up.

Looks like they've given us more reasons to listen to Hitz.FM. Smile

Hope you guys can catch all the messages!

EDIT:

There is an article about Tokio Hotel on the official Hitz.FM website!

HITZ MUSIC - ARTIST ON FIRE: TOKIO HOTEL

No one in the world is more prepared to bask in the glow of global rock stardom than the members of Tokio Hotel. Humanoid is only their second English release, the follow up to 2008''s Scream, but to millions of fans across the globe, they''re already icons.

The biggest act to come out of Germany in 20 years, Tokio Hotel has gone 10x platinum, scored four No. 1 singles and sold out arenas and stadiums across Europe. They scored a Best New Artist VMA from MTV in 2008.

Tom Kaulitz, the bands guitarist had started fooling around with a guitar at age 7 and at 13 together with an already spiky-haired Bill, they caught the attention of some of Europe''s best-known producers (including Humanoid producer David Jost) and solidified their heartfelt pop-rock formula.

In 2008, after a grueling 43 shows, Bill endured surgery for cysts on his vocal cords but was back on the road performing around the world within two months, shortly after Scream was released for the first time in the U.S. in 2008.

The first single, "Automatic" is a metallic anthem with layered, buzzing guitars, stomping percussion, and a falsetto chorus made to be belted out by a stadium full of people. "World Behind My Wall" redefines the power ballad with depth, introspection, musical confidence and an irresistible sing-along chorus.

There are more electronic sounds on Humanoid. The first single "Automatic" explores the relationships between every day emotions and every day conveniences.

"How many things happen automatically every day?" Bill asks. "The door opens and closes automatically, shifting gears in a car; a camera lens -- all of those are always positive things, but when the mechanical quality of the automatic meets human things like love, then suddenly it becomes extremely negative. Love has to be spontaneous and genuine, never automatic and cold." That''s the theme that moves people.

Along with the new sounds, new subjects, new live show, and even Bill''s new style, longtime fans will still find the constant connection to Tokio Hotel''s raw honesty and emotion.

"We love our fans because they are the loudest of all and do such crazy things," Bill says. "They always support us, no matter what has happened, and a lot has happened."
