Today’s song is “The Real You” by The Life Electric. The Boston group is comprised of former Action Verbs frontman Joey Chehade (vocals) and three-fifths of the indie rock band Gold Star Morning: Ben Leang (guitar), Cory Bean (bass), and Joel Silloway (drums).
The band came together in 2011 and released their self-titled debut album in May of 2012, garnering attention from local press and building an organic buzz. They followed it up with the Calico EP in early 2013, and have since opened for national acts like Neon Trees, Cracker, and Marcy Playground, as well as had the honor of playing Boston’s Rock and Roll Rumble.
These indie rockers have a sound that will light up your day. They have been described as “a combination of modern disco, The Flaming Lips, and pure fucking rock.” This reviewer thinks they are simply irresistible. They remind a me of a tinge of the Killers, with some Neon Trees, and a little Fall Out Boy all rolled together. With one note you’ll fall head over heels for their delicious piano chords and bouncing melodies. This music will make your Friday.
This is the title track off their latest album out today! Their singles “Gone, Gone, Gone” and “Heartbeat” premiered on New Noise Magazine and Idobi Radio.
