My favourite 00s rock band!

So good. They reunited a few years back but never made it North America which made me very sad. I saw them twice back in the day, but I didn't realize how much would be lost.
I'm gonna put on Axes too!

I have been falling in love with this band over the last few months. I listened to No Shouts around three years ago and didn't think much of it. Earlier this year I heard The Valleys and was blown away so I gave The Power Out a shot, I clicked with that album straight away. I decided to give No Shouts No Calls another go and of course I loved it the whole way through. I have Axes ready to go but I know it's supposed to a bit more hard work, excited to hear it though. I feel like I'm discovering a new favourite band!

Oh you. I had a hope there.

I guess they kind of did? but yeah the world could use four more Electrelane albums ty

The band are doing a Zoom chat on Facebook have just announced they're hopefully going to make a new album in the near future!

fuck yes, amazing!
― devvvine, Sunday, 19 April 2020 20:32 (six years ago)
Ah, they're all so cool. They were talking about how it was amazing playing with Broadcast in 2004 and how much they miss Trish.
They all seemed to agree that Axes is their best album and Bells is the song their happiest with from their back catalogue. Apparently their label won't reissue Axes on vinyl because nobody would be interested.
― kitchen person, Sunday, 19 April 2020 21:01 (six years ago)
several members of an unopopular music messageboard would certainly be interested

and yeah me too
that such a given? I think I like the last one the most.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 19 April 2020 23:41 (six years ago)
great covers live as well...Smalltown Boy, I'm On Fire, The Partisan.
Had this amazing long cross country run streaming The Power Out, and only at the end did I realize it was being shuffled. I wish I could get that sequencing back. Still, it made it my fav.
― Julius Caesar Memento Hoodie (bendy), Monday, 20 April 2020 00:53 (six years ago)
I only discovered them recently when someone put No Shouts No Calls as their favorite of the 2000s in the ILM decade poll.

― dan selzer
Yeah, that's my favourite too followed by The Power Out.

They’ve been hinting at this for a while now but really cool to see how many people are excited on the socials.

I only just saw that they're getting back together (after they popped up in my Pandora), and they're a band that I am willing to get COVID for (if they're even considering a tour).

Power Out and No Calls have aged very well. They seem more distinctive, even more in their own little sound world, than in the 00s
― Terrycoth Baphomet (bendy), Sunday, 9 April 2023 03:51 (three years ago)
Axes as well!

Haven’t seen anything more about the reunion but Verity Susman has a new band Memorials that’s releasing a double album and touring the UK this spring.
― JoeStork, Sunday, 9 April 2023 14:27 (three years ago)
With Matt from Wire.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 9 April 2023 16:02 (three years ago)
lol that Susman's website link to her band actually leads to memorials (dot) com, to buy funeral related items.

Pretty into the Memorials albums on first listen!
