Weaving a rich tapestry of mature dark-pop with garage rock swagger, Electric pets unashamedly draw influence from the foundations of rock n’roll history and frame it firmly with a twenty-first-century styling. It’s all here: the distinctive twang of rockabilly and surf, breathy ‘60s-girl-group-vocals, Joe Meek-esque retro-furturist-electronica and bluesy fuzzed out Jack White-like riffs.

 

The band formed in 2010 as vocalist Emma Buckley, tired of the solo acoustic circuit just as guitarist Phil Wagg and bassist Pete Darrington wound up The Hudson Super Six. Joined by drummer Adam Grace they began writing together while listening to classics from all genres and eras. Rock, pop, indie, soul, blues and even country. Having felt restricted by the styles they’d previously worked in, they made a pact: no genre was off the table and the song was king.

Electric Pets signed to independent label Reckless Yes for the release of 2 EP's in 2022.
