Postmen is a reggae/ hip hop band from the Netherlands; the original line-up consisted of Remon 'Anonymous Mis' Stotijn, Michael 'Rollarocka' Parkinson and Gus 'G-Boah' Bear.
The group was founded by The Anonymous Mis and G-Boah in 1993. They were influenced by Kool G Rap, Eric B & Rakim, Burning Spear and Bob Marley. On the road, Postmen play with a live band and have appeared on some the largest festivals in Europe.
Just before their debut LP Documents, Rollarocka joins the band and a string of hit singles followed. They enjoyed success in Europe, particularly in their home country of the Netherlands; their string of top 40-hits included "Cocktail", "Crisis", "U Wait" and a cover-version of Doe Maar's 1982 chart-topper " De Bom" (in collaboration with rapper Def Rhymz).
Postmen received regular radio-airplay (particularly during the summer season) although their second and third albums ( Revival and Era) didn't reach former glories.
Postmen split up in 2005 because the three members had drifted apart. Anonymous Mis continued as Postman and released his solo-album Green in 2006. The first single Downhill features vocals from his award-winning rockstar-wife Anouk. They spent a year in Ohio with their three children to escape the pressures of fame, but eventually settled in Amsterdam. In May 2008 the couple announced their break-up.
Anonymous Mis continued with his current wife Alyssa Stotijn. 2012 marked the return of both Rollarocka (who released a solo-album as Maikal X) and the original Postmen-moniker. They collaborated on a new version of Doe Maar's 1983-song Alles Gaat Voorbij alongside rapper Kraantje Pappie. Anonymous Mis is also producing some of the tracks on Doe Maar's forthcoming album.
