Go Back to the Zoo Essentials

Go Back to the Zoo know how to make a rock song that you'll want on your party playlist. Driving beats give these songs a groovy backbone, but it's the tongue-in-cheek lyrics that turns heads. Singer Cas Hieltjes is deliciously sardonic in his deadpan delivery. The Amsterdam band broke through with “Beam Me Up”, a propulsive rocker that Nike picked up for a 2009 ad campaign—and it's been a steady climb up since then. Loaded with attitude and marked by their soft spot for electronic touches, Go Back to the Zoo pack a jolt into these songs that will make it hard for you to sit still.
