Electralyte
From Sawiki
In recent years there's probably been no rock band whose debut album has been more eagerly awaited than Electralyte's. To judge just how large and enthusiastic the grassroots support for this Essex-based band actually is one only has to read the howls of protests and annoyed readers' comments that greeted Cross Rhythms review of Electralyte's self-titled independent EP of 2005 with which the CR reviewer wasn't particularly impressed. With memories of those withering denouncements of Cross Rhythms' inability to spot true rock 'n' roll originality, I met up with the trio just prior to the release of their debut ICC album 'Breakout' wondering whether the band would greet this particular Cross Rhythms representative with a hail of abuse, or something worse.
In fact, the group - Matt Leeder (vocals, guitar), Paul Leverate (bass) and Jon Mitson (drums) - turned out to be both gracious and friendly.
Electralyte are a 4-piece English rock band from Chelmsford, Essex. Their debut album was titled "Breakout" and they released a follow up album "Scratch beneath the surface" in July 2008. They are currently distributed by Fierce Distribution in the UK. The band have a Brit- rock sound but are noted for mixing in other musical styles and influences.
