The band was founded in Berlin in 1983 and started out firmly grounded in the underground punk scene. Over time, Feeling B's popularity grew greatly and at the end of the German Democratic Republic, it was one of the most respected and influencial Eastern German bands despite their underground status.

Frontman Aljoscha Rompe, a Swiss living in East Berlin, supplied the vocals to the band's restless, enduring punk anthems. His accompanying keyboarder and guitarist, then universally referred to as "Flake" and "Paulchen", have since found fame as Christian Lorenz and guitar player Paul Landers of Rammstein.

The group disbanded mid-1990's. On special occasions, the band members would get together for individual concerts at punk festivals, until Rompe died in November 2000.
