Some information about Electric Frankenstein

by admin on Nov.10, 2009, under Chatter

Electric Frankenstein - Over 15 years, over 100 record releases, and more! EF has almost single-handedly returned rock to its most basic and savage roots, the way it was meant to be. They have been receiving international acclaim for their exciting brand of Punk Rock and Roll, done with the great intensity of such bands as the Stooges, MC5, Dead Boys, NY Dolls, Damned, Black Flag, Misfits, AC/DC, Kiss, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, etc. In addition to playing the most dynamic, ravenous, and menacing rock you've ever heard, EF recognizes the importance of integrity. From giving proper nods to the architects of street-level rock (Iggy and the Stooges, Dead Boys, AC/DC), to fiercely supporting DIY labels to their constant efforts to put fans first ahead of profit, EF is championing the cause to bring Rock back to the people and out of the hands of corporations. EF aren't young or pretty, and in case you haven't noticed neither is Real Rock & Roll. EF aren't here to be your girlfriend, they're here to ROCK! While stupid critics might say 'but, it's only rock n roll, its nothing new', EF fans are saying "Damn, right!" as they embrace the best of what's loud, fast, and rules from the last 30 years distilled down to one single organism. EF are one a mission to revitalize Rock & Roll and save people from the boredom of "alternative music". EF shows are intense, exciting, and inspiring.

EF have been well reviewed in such magazines as Kerrang, Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Rock Sound, Alternative Press, Hit Parader, Seconds, Thrasher, Lollipop, Tail Spins, Rue Morgue, Maximum Rock N Roll, Flipside, Big Takeover, Paper, Aquarian Weekly, and countless European & Japanese magazines as well. NY Press picked EF as the "Best Punk Band in NYC". EF have received top 40 commercial radio airplay in the USA, Top 5-10 on many American college radio stations, and were Number One on Belgian, Finnish, and Swedish, etc., national radio. EF has even been picked by the Frankenstein Society as the bands representing the release of the Frankenstein commemorative stamp for the US Post Office. Not only are they one of the top most featured bands in the music press (currently #2 out of the Top 500!), but they have a loyal fan following in over 15 countries, with many bands citing EF as an influence and covering EF songs, and drawing thousands at music festivals internationally. EF's raw, powerful, and melodic Dead Boys meets AC/DC sound that has made them the Kings of High Energy Punk Rock N Roll!

EF has been on over 40 of the world's best indie record labels (Sub Pop, Man's Ruin, Estrus, Get Hip, Victory, Au-go-go, TKO, Junk, etc.), selling hundreds of thousands of records. They have appeared on many European music televison shows and have had their songs or artwork featured in many videogames, movies and tv shows, including X-Files, Dawson's Creek, Signs, American Psycho 2, Flophouse, Tony Hawks Underground, and the occasional porno flicks as well. EF have since their inception been touring the US, UK, and Europe; often as headliner, even doing a sold out show at the Fillmore in SF and played to thousands at European festivals. EF played the 1997 Warp tour. They plan to tour Japan and Australia soon. EF have played with Danzig, Monster Magnet, Marilyn Manson, Hole, Social Distortion, The Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Dictators, Poison Idea, SOD, Joe Strummer, The Dwarves, Nebula, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, Turbonegro, Hellacopters, and many more. One of Joey Ramone's favorites, EF can count many other bands as fans of their music as well (Jon Spencer, Metallica, Monster Magnet, etc.), and they have returned the favor via the popular "A Fistful of Rock & Roll" compilation series, produced by EF guitarist, Sal Canzonieri.

The EF invasion has begun with Dark Horse publishing a 160 page book on EF. In 2004, EF will have a world wide art gallery and book signing tour for the upcoming book, "Electric Frankenstein!", as well as two fantastic EF clothing lines being done by Sourpuss Clothing and Lucky 13 clothing, and EF skateboards, toys, and videogames in the works too!

Who is the most hard-working underground rock band of the last 15 years? Just ask anyone in the know and you will be greeted with the same answer: “Electric Frankenstein”! There’s no doubt about it.

With their rock solid underground following firmly in tow, Electric Frankenstein has appealed to a broad spectrum of listeners. Incorporating punk rock, heavy metal, and especially good old fashioned Rock and Roll, EF has created a sound that is unparalleled and often looked upon in awe. These New Jersey stalwarts (along with The Supersuckers, New Bomb Turks, and The Dwarves) have had an unsurprisingly fearsome influence on modern Rock music, paving the way for Turbonegro, The Hives, The Datsuns, The Hellacopters, Backyard Babies, The D4, The White Stripes, and other new Rock bands.

EF has even been favorably reviewed by Bob Rock, famed Metallica producer!

Electric Frankenstein is the epitome of rock and roll, with a punk attitude that is rarely rivaled. Over 15 years, over 100 record releases, and more! EF has almost single-handedly returned rock to its most basic and savage roots, the way it was meant to be. They have been receiving international acclaim for their exciting brand of High Energy Punk Rock and Roll, done with the great intensity of such bands as the Stooges, MC5, Dead Boys, NY Dolls, Ramones, Damned, Black Flag, Misfits, AC/DC, Kiss, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, Motorhead, and other favorites.

EF is featured in the All Music Guide to Rock; The Encyclopedia of Hardcore & Punk; The Book of Metal (Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Metal Music); and the A-Z of Doom, Gothic, & Stoner Metal. How can they be in all of these different genres of Rock Music? Ah! That's the beauty of Electric Frankenstein!

With music appearing on over 100 records, including albums, compilations, singles and 7-Inches, there is no harder working band in Rock ‘N’ Roll today. Electric Frankenstein is a movement, a working-man’s answer to what is missing from popular music in the world today; straight-up, raw, in-your-face, combustible Rock ‘N’ Roll. Electric Frankenstein simply has no equal.

What do you get when you cross together the wild intensity of Punk Rock with the power chords of Hard Rock and with the melodic music of 60s Garage Rock?

Curious? So was Electric Frankenstein, the renowned High Energy Punk Rock & Roll music band. They took the best parts of the past classic Real Rock & Roll sounds and fused them with the raw power and burning fury of Punk Rock creating the most instense High Energy Punk Rock & Roll monster ever made.

EF's poster and cover art alone is a who's who in the modern art world, which many of them consider one of their best works ever. All of them feature the fantastic work of such artists as Coop, Peter Bagge, Frank Kozik, Alan Forbes, Derek Hess, Art Chantry, Firehouse, Mark Arminski, Johnny Ace, Bob Masse, Dirty Donny, Jeff Gaither, Dave Burke, Mad Marc Rude, Kerry Gammill, Lisa Petrucci, Spine, and many more. Even Dark Horse Comics has published a big EF art book "Electric Frankenstein!" featuring over 180 great artists and over 400 EF posters and record covers!!

We are having an amazing run with the new MegaPlatinum. Can't thank the bands enough that tested out the system in it's initial weeks. We've ironed out most of the bugs (at least all the ones we could find up until now) and now we're ready to rawk full speed ahead. If you've recently gotten a request by email from me to sign up, then welcome! We're gonna break tons of ground over the next 12 months. 2010 will be the year when we shake up the foundations of the music industry, introduce new and exciting alternatives to publishing, copyright, and to help rock, punk, and metal bands take their art to the next level and expand their fanbase. It's never been a better time to make music. All bets are off, and we here at MegaPlatinum are committed to seeing the rise of the rock once again. Again, if you're new here, then welcome. There's tons of stuff to do here, so dig in and get familiar with the system and how it works. I'm sure you'll find it easy to navigate. If you need to contact me, just hit the contact us button or send me a private note. I'm always here to help. Rock and roll! Nick Vivid, CEO MegaPlatinum Entertainment LLC
