Career
In January 2010 they got a record deal with the Parlophone label , which belongs to the EMI Group . The first single, Opposite of Adults , was released on February 21, 2010 and entered the UK at # 12 in the UK Top 40 . The song is a response to kids from MGMT that is sampled in it. The title of the single (in German: "The opposite of adults") also alludes to the MGMT song. Through its use in the computer game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit , the title gained greater fame.
