THE REVIEW
1975, the Electric Eels are a quartet from Cleveland dedicated to a filthy post-MC5 sound with a taste of rotten lemon. But their specialty is a sort of proto-broth, made with pieces of Aylerian meat, and a coarse chop of guitars, percussion, and clarinet, all sautéed in a Sun Ra extraterrestrial oil and boiled in sulfurous waters...
The resulting broth is amphetamine-like and foul-smelling but of undeniable nutritional value, evidenced by its consumption by numerous bands.
The broth should be downed in one go, with undeniable invigorating and regenerating effects, but beware: it may turn the stomach of the well-thinking gourmet!

The Electric Eels
A Cleveland proto-punk/garage band active in the early 1970s (c. 1972–1975). Noted for a very small number of chaotic, often interrupted concerts, extremely raw recordings and later compilations that preserved their influence.02 Reviews
