South -East London band ’The Southern Electrics’ open their album with a true belter, title track ‘Electric Superhighway’. This track kicks in full throttle from the word go, powered by a wailing guitar and prominent drums. Team these with a beat thrown back from 80’s electronica and a spot on track emerges. ‘Save you’ takes off with a strong melodic piano intro. A vocal entrance emerges that actually has an eerie feel to it and creates rather a dark, dirty and dramatic track. ‘Go Dirty’ sees ‘The Southern Electrics’ slow it down with understated and brooding vocals on a fine track. It holds an endearing indie quality circa 92’ that stylistically could easily be a track by ‘Garbage’. Helped along by an underlying whining beat encourages a ‘Kasabian‘ quality, although perhaps slightly less arrogant?. This by far makes it one of the best tracks off the album.

‘Media Coke Whore’ is slow off the ground until the rip-roaring guitar comes into play and messes things up nicely. ‘Hypochondriac’ begins with vocals suggestive of ‘Turin Brakes’, that is until the trade mark wrenching guitar work of ‘The Southern Electrics’ rears its head to bring back the individuality this band appears to holds so strong.
