Editor's note

The Baseballs twist pop hits into rock 'n' roll.

A German trio that recasts modern pop songs in a 1950s and 1960s rock style.

For a quick sense of their approach, try 'Born This Way' or 'Crazy in Love', they're pop songs dressed in old-school rock 'n' roll clothes.

They took a song like 'Candy Shop' and turned it into a European hit with a retro guitar-and-drums arrangement. Their covers of 'Born This Way' or 'Poker Face' strip away the original production and replace it with upbeat harmonies and rhythms that feel borrowed from an earlier era. It's a specific, consistent sound that has kept them releasing albums for over a decade.

They started in Berlin in 2007, and their cover of 'Candy Shop' broke through in Europe and Asia. That led to albums like Strike! in 2009 and Strings 'n' Stripes in 2011, and they've kept going with records like Good Ol' Boys and Twenty in 2022.

Archive material and source history

The Baseballs are a German trio from Berlin who started in 2007, covering pop songs in a 1950s and 1960s rock 'n' roll style. Their version of 'Candy Shop' became a hit in Europe and Asia, leading to albums like Strike! (2009) and Strings 'n' Stripes (2011).

They've recorded covers of songs like 'Poker Face,' 'Born This Way,' and 'Crazy in Love,' giving them a retro twist with guitar, bass, and drums. The band members are Samy Deluxe (Sebastian Raetzel) on vocals and guitar, Basti (Bastian Ragg) on bass, and Digger (Rüdiger Brans) on drums.

Some listeners have felt their covers smooth out the edges of the original songs, but the group has kept releasing albums, including Good Ol' Boys in 2013 and Twenty in 2022. Their sound leans on upbeat rhythms and harmonies that recall earlier rock eras without trying to replicate them exactly.
