Electric Eel Shock

Electric Eel Shock, hailing from Japan, are a formidable force in garage rock and j-rock. Formed in 1997, the group has made a name for themselves with high-energy live music and an unrelenting commitment to their sound. Their discography traces an adventurous path, including the acclaimed 2024 album Heavy Metal Black Belt, which further cements their reputation for electrifying performances and raw, infectious musicianship.

Recent tour dates include headlining THE JOINERS in Southampton in June 2025 as part of their HEAVY METAL BLACK BELT UK & EU TOUR, where they shared the stage with benchy & the gazers as support. Electric Eel Shock's prowess on stage is matched by a strong catalogue: from earlier releases like Sugoi Indeed and Beat Me to live albums that capture the sweat and spirit of their concerts. Their repertoire features standout recordings such as "Do the Metal," "Big Mistake," and "Bastard!"—tracks that reveal both their versatility and their roots in the heart of the Japanese rock scene.

For those eager to catch the band live, Electric Eel Shock will return to the UK, headlining venues such as Audio in Glasgow, The Star and Garter in Manchester, New Cross Inn in London, Voodoo Daddy's Showroom in Norwich, and DUST in Brighton throughout October and November 2026.
