Beastie Boys were an American hip hop band formed in New York in 1981 as a hardcore punk combo. They first hit the scene with 3 UK Top 20 hits in the mid 80s. But had to wait until 1994 before they reached the top 20 again with "Sabotage/Get it together". From 1992 to 2001, they ran the Grand Royal label. Beastie Boys gained their biggest hit with the Godzilla-video inspired "Intergalatic", which reached the top 5 in 1998.
