ELECTRA GLIDE

Goth Industrial Ambient Metal

About Me

BUY 'DRAG' FOR JUST £2.99 GBP INC P&P

Rising like the Northern Lights from the corpse of industrial Manchester, ELECTRA GLIDE bring a refreshed bite and bloodlust to the alternative music underground.

Delivering a tight, tense and powerful live show, ELECTRA GLIDE are the stuff that nightmares are made on. Meshing Metal riffs with samples, loops, synths and schizophrenic female vocals,this is the music of bad memories, subconscious desires and horror film soundscapes.

Singer CAROL HODGE is a brutal bastard mix of Robert Smith, Marilyn Manson and Johnny Rotten, shining like a beacon on stage and luring souls to doom on scissor-sharp rocks. PETE WILSON is a livewire liability, six foot four's worth of stomping and thrashing. ERIC BODE is airtight and solid, bringing stability to the mayhem.

Following numerous well-received gigs since October 2007, including their live debut at Manchester's In The City conference,ELECTRA GLIDE are now perfecting a bleeding batch of new material and have touring high on the agenda for 2008.

Writing, rehearsing and recording on a daily basis, this band eat, shit and breathe their music. A new recording will be released soon: mixed, produced, recorded and designed exclusively in-house.

Sinister, spiky and seductive, ELECTRA GLIDE are on a passionate mission, shocking and aweing all who dare to listen. The ELECTRA GLIDE guarantee remains: once you have seen them, you will never, ever forget them.

"Electra Glide - hardworking band able to fuse varying styles to create a musical diversity that is only rivalled by their onstage theatrical presentation. Or in Uncle Stu speak - DAMN THEMS GOOD"
STU TAYLOR, SOS RECORDS

"Electra Glide are terrifying and thrilling in equal parts. Brutally simple bass and beats underpin whirling melodies, topped off with a driven vocal that grips you by the spine and never lets go. It’s political, powerful and passionate, right up in your face and all the better for it."
CHRIS LONG, BBC ONLINE

"As equally beautiful and brutal, as butterflies nailed to a door...they're Industrial sex, a steam powered Sybian of rock n roll"
CORRUPTED PROMOTIONS

"Makes me want to immediately reach for a blanket and suck my thumb...amazing stuff".
SAM WALKER, BBC MANCHESTER

"Electra Glide are a hyper-industrial tour de force. Like Metallica gone goth or Nine Inch Nails with PMT, the Manchester three-piece make big noise for little people. Carol Hodge's fiery vocal dances around Eric and Pete's punishing arsenal of riffs, while a maelstrom of mechanised beats blasts the front row. Thrilling."
ANDREW JOHNSTON, BELFAST NEWS LETTER

"Electra Glide..Stripped and turbo charged like a Santa Pod dragster burning 5 star rock & roll petrol! Alive jive!"
STEVE SHEPHERD

"Electra Glide have a clean, tight sound, retaining passion and energy, distilling it into a stronger taste, with high highs and low lows. The live show leaves you looking forward to the next one, I am looking forward with eager anticipation to their first releases"
THE SKAMONKEY

"We can't thank you enough for making the trip and giving our ears a treat like yous did on Sat ! Tremendous stuff, take it easy, hope to see yous again."
FIL (ROCK 24/7)

"Hey, that was HOT at Walkabout t'other night, you've got a stage to play on with us whenever you want..."
