I, like many others, remember their debut record from 1989, &#8216;<em>Funk \u2013 O \u2013 Metal Carpet Ride&#8217;<\/em> (still a great title). Unfortunately, by the time their second LP &#8216;<em>Groovus Maximus&#8217;<\/em> was released in 1992, grunge had all but killed off bands like the Electric Boys. Since then I have heard the odd track here and there and caught them live at a few festivals. I was surprised to find that this latest LP is the bands seventh studio record. It features ten tracks of funk n roll, including the first single\/video from the album <em>Super God. <\/em>The animated video is well worth a watch.<\/p>\n<p>Instrumental opener &#8216;<em>Upside Down&#8217; Theme<\/em> kicks off the album with swift boot to the nether regions. &#8216;<em>Never Again Your Slave&#8217;<\/em> is another belting track with echoes of Zeppelin\u2019s &#8216;<em>Moby Dick&#8217;<\/em> in the main riff.<em>\u00a0&#8216;Globestrutter&#8217;<\/em> is another high point with some great lyrics sung with conviction by main man Conny Bloom \u2013 \u2018Hard rock is in my DNA\u2019, I must agree with that!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VeYwZ6BoO14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In &#8216;<em>Twang Em \u2013 Kerrang Em&#8217;<\/em>, the Electric Boys win the song title of the year hands down! It\u2019s a great tune too with some great lead guitar work from Bloom. A fine record from an enduring band. It\u2019s great to see the album is being released on all formats including four different coloured vinyl LPs.
