History
The Carbonfools was formed by Titusz Bicskei, a.k.a. DJ Titusz, and Szabolcs Tóth in Budapest, Hungary. The band debuted at the Sziget Festival in 2001. In 2004 the band's first full-length studio album, entitled Poisoned Goulash, was released by Crossroads Records. The record was mixed and mastered by Rita Zboray and produced by Titusz Bicskei.[3] On the first record several session vocalists appeared, including Heaven Street Seven's Krisztián Szűcs, Gáspár Kornél, Zsolt Palotai.
On 8 December 2010, The Carbonfools played a show in London and on 9 December in Birmingham in the United Kingdom.[4] The Carbonfools was invited by the British band Dreadzone. The two bands also played together at the Gödör Klub in Budapest when Dreadzone presented their album Eye on the Horizon.
On 14 January 2011, their third full-length studio album was released by 1G Records entitled Carbonsoul.[5] The band invited Balázs Fehér's father, András Fehér, to sing an opera part in the song "Sunset". The song "Hideaway" was a national success for the band and they became a mainstream pop band in Hungary.
On 4 March 2013, The Carbonfools signed a declaration that criticizes the Hungarian government's decision that Hungarian bands who sing in English should be considered foreign bands that should have less promotion on Hungarian radio stations.[6]
