A consistent force within the Australian metal/rock scene since
2007, pioneering the revival of 80’s influenced metal
and rock, ELECTRIK
DYNAMITE vowed to summon the spirit of true rock ‘n
roll, whilst combining it with the technical proficiency of
traditional heavy metal – all with a current and modern
production.
In 2011 they released their debut album, aptly titled
“Hair.Denim.Sex.Metal”, which spawned the singles “Midnight Rider”,
“Built To Rock” and “Love is Fire”. Blazing a trail across
Australia on the back of HDSM quickly strengthened the band’s live
reputation, with critics quickly labelling the band “exciting”,
“not to be missed”, “passionate” and “thoroughly entertaining”,
whilst the album garnered the respect of media types comparing the
band to modern day acts such as “Avenged Sevenfold”, “Trivium” and
“Bullet For My Valentine”.
The group released their debut EP in 2007, entitled “Electrify The
Night”, selling out within weeks to die-hard fans. 2010 saw them
signing to Australian label, New Justice Records before releasing
Hair.Denim.Sex.Metal -- whilst continuing to spread the party vibe
of ELECTRIK DYNAMITE to audiences across the country, supporting
Black Veil Brides, The Misfits and LA Guns, along with touring
alongside local heavyweights Thy Art Is Murder and LORD, amongst
others.
Early in 2012, however, – original member, and founding frontman,
Ryan “Maverick” Reeve decided to call it quits, citing family, work
and lifestyle changes, which left the band with the gargantuan task
of filling his shoes. With a stroke of good fortune, and the right
timing, a replacement was swiftly made, and enigmatic frontman, Dan
Brittain, would join the band not long after.
ELECTRIK DYNAMITE with Danny B will make their recorded debut on
the two track single “Steel of Fortune / Showgirls”, scheduled for
release around April, before hitting the studio mid year to record
the sophomore follow up to “Hair.Denim.Sex.Metal”.
2013 is shaping up to be a huge year for the band, with no break in
sight. With the world opening their arms and ears to the era
where music was fun once again, ELECTRIK DYNAMITE’s time is
now.
Combining an energy not seen since Guns ‘n Roses, the brash
youthful musical virtuosity of such acts as Van Halen, Def Leppard
and Iron Maiden, with a modern sound, production and attitude
reminiscent of Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium, delivering a totally
unique sound unheard of before – infectious hook laden 3 part vocal
sections, face melting guitar gymnastics, 80’s flavoured keyboard
melodies all tied in with a thunderous drum and bass section –
these 5 dudes and 1 dudette are ready to rock ‘n roll wherever the
party takes them
