Electric Boys - Ghost Ward Diaries

Facts Swedish rock band Electric Boys - rooted in '70s groove and '60s pop and psychedelia - sign with Mighty Music for the release of their new album, The Ghost Ward Diaries. "We like guitar riffs, strong hooks and heavy grooves, performed on analog instruments," notes frontman Conny Bloom. "I guess you'd call it classic rock. Lyric wise it's a bit darker than before; little diaries from times on the road and the struggle in between. The album is far from predictable, yet it was the easiest album to record since the reunion. We really had a good team going with producer/engineer David Castillo." He goes on to explain that lead single "Hangover In Hannover" as a, "hard rocker that I'm sure most people can relate to but wish they couldn't. To quote Niclas, our drummer: 'It's not being drunk that's great, it's getting drunk.' The aftermath can get you into a very dark place."
