Electric Enemy

Biography

Electric Enemy is the alternative rock project of London-based multi-instrumentalist Jim Lawton. Lawton writes, records and either produces or co-produces all of the project’s music whilst joined on certain tracks by some of his close network of talented players, as the upcoming debut album demonstrates. When playing live, Lawton is joined by artists and friends chosen for their stage prowess and playing abilities who come together to form a distinctive wall of sound and, to show further versatility, Lawton occasionally goes out as Electric Enemy solo, most recently to great effect touring throughout Europe as main support to Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains). The forthcoming self-titled album features Max Crook and Thomas Rhomer-Smith on drums and percussion; guitars from Gibson-guitar-supported Orlando Formaro and Lawton himself; and bass playing additions from Ewan Boissinot, Sara Fedi and Killian Paul.

Sitting somewhere between the classic rock of the Foo Fighters with a touch of Oasis, and acts like Des Rocs, MUSE and Royal Blood, Electric Enemy are setting out to make rock music with a mission. Combining introspective lyrics with compelling melodies and dynamic musicianship, Jim has cracked a formula that has made this a need-to-know act in the UK and beyond. Singles like ‘Voices’ (2021) and ‘Heartache Melody’ (2020) have already given Electric Enemy a taste of streaming success and BBC Radio 1 host Jack Saunders noted, “There’s something in the water here.”

Electric Enemy album review

During the first run through the album you would think that the band and album name is program here. Electric Enemy sound very electric at the beginning. This may be due to the distorted whispering voice on the vocals and the synthesizer sounds. But mainly Electric Enemy play solid rock. Alternative. Cool. The guitars are distorted and turned up to the max. The hooks have a high recognition factor and also the choruses go directly into the ear and stay in the head. There are plenty of examples for this. Whether the songs "Paranoid" or "Do It Again" . Each song sounds unique and different, both from the structure and the mood.

Indie-Rock is back! "All Of The Best" is a song (...) so modern and fresh that it can make Brit-Rock great again.

"Electric Enemy" is a very exciting, exceptionally well done album from an equally very exciting band. A band with this potential deserves to be supported. So buy it, even if it's not entirely clear whether this is a project or a band with a changing line-up. They are worth your time and money!

This badass blast is one to crush your hangover with, one to headbang yourself unconscious to, one to go totally bananas to. Imagine Royal Blood joining forces with Weezer. The big bang result is loud, very loud. Lots of illegal decibels, lots of high-energy guitars, lots of full-powered drones, lots of harmonious vocals gliding all over it. A towering triumph. All burners on! Holy smoke! Play it with max volume…
