"Who is the most hard working underground Rock band of the last 10 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, 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 have had an unsurprisingly fearsome influence on modern music, paving the way for The Hives, The White Stripes, The D4, The Darkness, and other new Rock bands.
Electric Frankenstein is the epitome of rock and roll, with a punk attitude that is rarely rivaled. 13 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.
Why this name?
It was the best way to convey the feeling of High Energy and the idea that we were bringing together all the different elements from the past 50 years of Rock & Roll to create something new and excting: a powerful Rock & Roll monster!
Do you play live?
EF plays all over the world.
We tour twice a month, appearing at small and large clubs, concert halls, music festivals, and even in-store appearances.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet helped our band get popular very fast all over the world. We have fans from not only the US, Canada, South America, Europe, Australia and Japan but places like Viet-nam, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, Vatican City, and so on!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe, if they weren't going to be a rip - off.
Right now who needs them, we sold half a million records without them and we have lasted 13 years without them and we are one of the very top most featured bands in the press out of the top 500 without them. Our music is on tv and radio stations all over the world and even on MTV without any major label helping us.
