After a lot of touring around Europe they toured together with Beatallica in October 2005 and in Spring 2006.[1] Unlike Beatallica they performed the Beatles songs "as they are", singing the same lyrics and playing cover versions of the originals, just a "little" faster and with a punk feeling.
They were quite successful in Europe, as well as in Japan, where their best of CD The Punkles 1998-2003 (2003), and the following album, Pistol (2004), both entered the Top 50.[2] Their final album For Sale! was released in April 2006. They have not appeared in public since.

The Punkles waren eine 1998 in Hamburg gegründete Punkrockband und waren ursprünglich ein Nebenprojekt der Gruppe Prollhead. Als Joey Lennon, Sid McCartney, Dee Dee Harrison und Markey Starkey spielten sie Songs der Beatles im Punksound der Ramones. Ihr äußeres Erscheinungsbild war eine Mischung aus den Beatles während der "Beatlemania"-Phase und einer Punkband. Die Band war vor allem erfolgreich in England, wo sie mehrmals auf Tournee waren und sogar zweimal im Cavern Club in Liverpool gastierten, und in Japan, wo sie mit zwei Alben in den Top 50 der Musik-Charts landeten.- [en] The Punkles
