And One is a German new wave, synthpop, and EBM band founded by Steve Naghavi and Chris Ruiz in 1989.

[1] Being fans of early EBM music, Naghavi and Ruiz decided to follow in the footsteps of new wave/synthpop band Depeche Mode by using two keyboards and a beatbox.

Jason Ankeny of AllMusic called their 1990 single, "Metal Hammer", a "significant club hit".

[3] In November 2007, And One announced the release of Bodypop 1½,[4] an EP with covers of songs by Depeche Mode ("Never Let Me Down Again"), Front 242 ("Operating Tracks"), D.A.F.

[5] The album was finally released on 30 January 2009, but with a completely different track listing, featuring live cover versions of various synthpop hits such as New Order's "Blue Monday" and Pet Shop Boys' "It's a Sin".

On June 4, 2011, Chris Ruiz and Gio van Oli announced they were leaving And One; they formed a new band called PAKT featuring Chad Hauger.

[6] Four days later, on June 8, 2011, Steve Naghavi announced the return of both Joke Jay and Rick Schah via the band's official Facebook page.
