The Goddamn Electric EP

The Goddamn ElectricFor a band only formed in the harsh winter months of 2010, in Manchester, this band have soon become very self assured in what music these bad boys of rock in roll wanna play.

They wanna play blues inspired rock, and they wanna play it loud.

Their 3 track ep has just landed on my doorstep and its easy to see how they have been pulling in big crowds in small venues around their home city of Manchester. Playing a cross between Guns n Roses, meets Clutch, with a hint of Pantera, straight up, no messing about hard rock, with a handful of blues. Sounds intoxicating.

The opening track “Something more” is a slab of blues infected hard rock, sleezy blues guitar work over a thunderous bass line, with a fine vocal performance from Tommy Mitten.
The 2nd track “Morning injection” made me smile with the subject matter, the guitar hook on this is great, with Tommys vocals driving this song along nicely, countering more sleezy guitar work from Al Turnbull.
The last song on this self released ep is “Jealous contradiction” this is a slower song, but no less powerful, in fact, this song oozes’ bad boy blues, but soon cranks up in tempo to a rousing chorus led finale.

I think this is a great E.P, these are one of the best bands to come out of Manchester in a long time, The live performance this band deliver on stage is just as kick ass, and I cant wait to catch them live again.8/10

About Del Preston

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweet shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me and Keith Moon and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweet shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son, that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business really. But sure enough, I got the M&Ms and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.
