Artist description From soaring lead breaks to solid rhythmn, ElectricYoghurt deliver what so few bands do these days:well-written music performed with passion. ElectricYoghurt refuse to succumb to the mediocracy of hiphop, rap, and record-company-made acts that couldn't string 2 chords together. Sure, Electric Yoghurt have the talent to succeed in any musical genre....but we all know that there is no real link between talent and success in today's music industry. We embrace the glorious concept of mp3.com: why compromise your work by sacrificing what you love most - the music! We write and play what WE like to do and don't give a damn about MTV/music industry dictated "trends". Electric Yoghurtbelieve in real music that is played by and for real people - music that will survive the test of time. Listen to Electric Yoghurt and judge for yourself!

Music Style rock/pop/metal/progressive

Musical Influences 70s/80s hard rock/progressive bands, "retro-pop" + anything else that appeals to us at the time.

Artist History We began writing/recording together in 1998, but really started to get it together in 1999. We have written and recorded many songs with diverse styles over the last few years. We see ourselves primarily as songwriters, more than performers...which is why we have some of our earlier 4-track demos here on the site. We are steadily improving the recording side of our work, however, as we gradually improve our studio equipment and playing skills!
