Album Of The Week: The Battery Electric’s The Heart and The Thrill

Imagine a sound that combines the intensity and fury of Danzig-era Misfits with that classic cool of acts like Led Zeppelin and ’70s Aerosmith and you have an infectious band from Asbury Park, NJ, called The Battery Electric. Loud, energetic and always down to have a good time, this fearsome foursome have their third full length, The Heart and The Thrill, coming out and it’s quite a rock ‘n’ roll treasure to behold. With a groove that’ll make you move and riffs that’ll make you bang your head, The Battery Electric’s new release absolutely shows impeccable quality from track to track.

A mix of motown soul and no holds barred rock really makes The Battery Electric’s sound absolutely timeless. Shitty jobs, manipulative women and drowning it all with a bottle are abundant in the lyrics and rhythmic feel. The genuity of The Battery Electric’s new release really shows a band that takes pride in telling it like it is with their music.

It’s still cold, and it will be for a while. Warm up while snuggling up to the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week. Let your speakers light the fire.

“Heathen,” the first track, gets things off to a raucous start with driving riffs and thunderous drums. For anyone who hates their job, “Get Me Outta Here” is your anthem — it’s an absolute headbanger to say the least. The party anthem of the year, “Key Party,” tells you why you should have a good time and why you shouldn’t stop.

The Battery Electric will celebrate the release of The Heart and The Thrill on Feb 21 at Asbury Lanes with Deal Casino, Black Wall, The Von Mons & Frankenstein 3000, and they’ll also hit the Providence area at the beginning of summer, so keep your eyes peeled. When they blow the roof off your friendly neighborhood music venue, make sure you grab a copy of The Heart and The Thrill from The Battery Electric. It’ll bring shocks up your spine that are more than genuine.
