\"ElectricThe second wave of Divebomb Records\u2019 new Bootcamp series is here, and unlike the first wave, which focused on bands from decades past, this wave puts the spotlight on new bands whose demo releases didn\u2019t get the attention they deserved. The final band in the series is Electric Age, hard rock band out of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Initially formed as a Deep Purple tribute band, Electric Age has an old school sound and an infectious modern energy.<\/p>\n

The Electric Age debut EP is brief (just six songs totaling 25 minutes), but it still packs a classic rock punch. The band channels Deep Purple (obviously) as well as Uriah Heep and Rainbow, but with a modern vibe a la The Darkness or Rival Sons. It such a wild and unpredictable sound, and it\u2019s absolutely impossible to resist. They\u2019ve got these big, bouncy rhythms, killer hooks and a vocalist who sounds like Michael Kiske on a blues-rock bender. Sample \u201cSnake Eater\u201d or \u201cGood Times Are Coming\u201d and you\u2019ll get an idea what\u2019s in store (and you should be thoroughly hooked on the band in the process).<\/p>\n

Divebomb\u2019s Bootcamp CD release of the Electric Age<\/em> EP is limited to 500 units and features new cover artwork and band-supplied photos in the full booklet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty rare for a band to sound both instantly recognizable as well as completely new, but that\u2019s exactly what Electric Age achieves here. It\u2019s a short, unforgettable blast of classic rock, but in a way that\u2019s fresh and exciting. If this EP reaches the right ears, Electric Age could really take off. Check \u2018em out now and say you heard of them before they were stars!<\/p>\n
