Band Ohne Namen ( English translation 'Band Without Name', also known as "B.O.N.") are a duo comprised of Guy Gross and Claus Capek, both from Germany. They are most famous for their record "Boys". This single could be considered of the genre hip-pop. Their track 'Boys' charted in many European countries in the year 2000.

The original version of "Boys" as featured in their debut album "No. 1" consisted of German lyrics interrupted by an English chorus. The single became a hit once it was translated fully into English, which spurred their next album "B.O.N. in the USA", which was an all-English version of "No. 1". The follow up English single "Nobody" wasn't as successful, and didn't enter the English charts, although it featured on the UK MTV Hits music channel Their follow up track in German was "Take my Heart" was certified 'gold' in Germany

Their third album "Free as a Bird", was the duo's last album before their split in 2003.

Guy Gross went on to release a EP in 2005 called "Nothing to Lose aka Nichts zu Verlieren"
