Electra is a Tel Aviv based rocknroll band, who injects adrenalin and charisma to the veins of the local scene. The band’s full album Heartbreaks for Fools was released early July 2010 in Israel on Anova Records.
A Brief history: In the end of 2004, Electra had released its first mini-LP Come Inside followed by an EP of remixes to the title song. Electra quickly received praises from both music critics and fans, with its energetic performances, and passionate apaeal. They went to tour in UK and Germany and the EP songs were signed to EMI Publishing. In 2006, the band had recorded Better Sound a single which was promoted with a video that became an instant hit on the Israeli TV music channel. Better Sound was Electra’s first work with producer Baruch Ben-Yitzhak, of the band Rockfour, that will later produce the band’s full lengh album.
After a period of residency abroad, in 2010 the band signed to Israel’s leading alternative label Anova Records. The first single of the album, Coming to Get You! was released in March this year, and bacame a massive hit on Israeli radio. Electra’s Second double A side single of the album - Dawn of Summer/ I feel Love is now making its first stpes as a radio and djs favorite.
Like other power-trio bands in the past, Electra can pour strong melodies and rich, full sound fuelled with a direct aproach, into the band’s pop songs. These songs are a colorful, stylish and unique mixture of influences, such as Rolling Stones and the garage-rock area, Rockabilly grooves, 60’s soul, and hungry stage energies of bands like The Clash and Buzzcocks.
