Blurbs from Magazines and Music Blogs"Coolest surprise from the Voice Actor show were the closers, Electric Healing Sound from Tijuana. Strokes/VUish with a star-ready frontman flanked by almost comically stoic band mates. So many hooks." -Adam Gimbel yer doin' great: a muzak clickclack
"Electric Healing Sound is Neither from San Diego nor Tijuana. When you are a border band you really essentially become the Border line itself. San Diego and Tijuana are really extensions of one another and when American Rock and Roll is Played from A border band, you get a true passion and love for the bands that have come before them. Electric Healing Sound reminds us of what R&R (Rock and/Or Roll) has been missing for a long, long time. Love and Respect for our forgotten heroes (Velvet Underground, Jesus and Mary Chain, Cher). Listening to the Music that they have Molded, it reminds me of my youth. Smoking my first cigarette while listening to Iggy, Lou, and The Ramones. I hope that when you hit play, you close your eyes and think of the good ol’ times. When rock and roll and music was made for love. Which is what i feel when i hear the Electric Healing Sound. We look forward to seeing what the new year brings from these wonderful kids from neither here nor there." -Indielandfill "Electric Healing Sound’ surrounds fantastic composition landscapes with eerie/electric shines of clever and sharp guitar feedback, haunting, avid brilliance on vocals and bass/percussion rhythms that are performed through smooth, talented great groove exhibits. I truly marvelled at their diversity qualities throughout their songs filled with displays of 60’s garage movements and then 80’s post-punk brilliance. They even showed FORKSTER that they are more than capable of handling a pop song and giving it proper due in only how ‘Electric Healing Sound’ can do it in their own unique "Rock and roll psychedelia" fashion. This band is exceptional in talent and form. FORKSTER will be keeping a very close eye and ear on these rockers music journey ahead." -Forkster “And then there’s The Electric Healing Sound, a minimal rock quartet with members from Tijuana that boasts frantic guitar riffs, a stand-up drummer and vocal parts that sound like they were recorded from the cockpit of an Air Force fighter jet.” -Natalie Jacobs San Diego City Beat “Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores grupos de rock que tiene Tijuana, con un sonido solido y melodías perfectas que harán mover la cabeza al propio Lou Reed donde quiera que se encuentre.” -Melomaniaco “La combinación podrá sonar extraña en papel, pero en ejecución suena impresionante. Un rock de garage minimalista que en ocasiones explota en una barrera de ruido que haría sentir orgulloso a los veteranos del shoegaze. Un segundo invita a bailar y al siguiente a mover la cabeza al ritmo de los poderosos guitarrazos.” -Luis Del Valle lifeboxset “Entre el caos cultural que conlleva el compartir dos naciones, adoptar dos identidades que debido a la lucha por preponderar una sobre otra se termina siendo un desconocido, se encuentra un grupo de jóvenes que han aceptado esta fatalidad del ser y no estar. Saben que el centralismo cultural está más lejos de lo que ellos pisan, y por ello buscan generar el ruido más estruendoso para buscar que las distancias se acorten, que los oídos del norte, centro y sur los asimilen.” -Revista Marvin "Si te gusta el rock sesentero y las guitarras atmosféricas, el garage rock, te va a gustar The Electric Healing Sound y su más reciente disco "Tangled Up.” - Bandbond “San Diego/Tijuana minimal garage rockers The Electric Healing Sound’s debut record, Tangled Up, draws instant and undeniable comparisons to The Velvet Underground, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Modern Lovers, in that order, with a hint of Wharton Tiers’ microtonal surf beneath trebled feedback and droning chords. ” -Chad Deal SD Reader “Though they hail from Tijuana, quartet Electric Healing Sound take much of their influence from Great Britain, delivering noisy drone-rock riffs and psychedelic shoegaze ballads in the style of Joy Division and Spacemen 3” -Peter Hoslin SD City Beat “With a name like Electric Healing Sound, you can't help but to think you're going to get a "don't worry, be happy" feeling from the group's music, but it's quite the opposite. The four-piece Tijuana band is all pedal distortion on the vocals and guitars, sort of reminiscent of the Jesus & Mary Chain. ” Dita Quiñonez NBC SoundDiego “La electrificación comenzó alrededor de las 10:30PM, con un extraordinario sonido y sobre todo con una ejecución que rayaba en lo excelso por parte de EHS donde la batería del Aguaje (¿temporal/reemplazo?), los rasgueos de Aldair y el Soltero y los rasgueos en las bajas frecuencias de Eric Curiel mostraban una potencia muy superior a la plasmada en el LP sobre todo en canciones como Do it Again y Woman 3 que rebosaban de genialidad con el paso de los minutos en una presentación breve que termino de manera impecable. ” -C.N Melomaniaco “[estilo] nos remonta a los 80's con grupos como Television o The Damned.” -Claudia Ochoa Rolling Stone, Mx “Hay una increíble amalgama en sus melodías donde logran ser partes iguales limpias así como mega-ruidosas” -Jesus Brijandez El Kinofago “this band I believe is one of the most talked about performances from the festival, a lot of people where blown away by their live show” -Julio M. Romero Monday Morning Music “Uno de los favoritos de la noche, con temas en inglés nos presentan un punk muy crudo y natural” -Claudia Ochoa MeHaceRuido.com "Potente, claros y definidos, The Electric Healing Sound sonó y para bien, dejó de que hablar en el AMF2011" -Melomaniaco "The Electric Healing Sound traen consigo ese desinterés hacía todo y todos" -Melomaniaco "They haven’t heard music like that in a long time.” -Chad Deal SD Reader "I think this show is worth showing up early too. The Electric Healing Sound’s sound is a little more off center and should get things off to a great start. It’s a little more droning at times and definitely more lo-fi and reverb drenched. They played here last month with Bagdad and Satellite Ruin" -Soda Bar Blog “...los sonidos del garage, las guitarras que nos gritan a Velvet y las voces que nos hablan a Reed, creo no tener un criterio muy equivocado. ” -Jesús Brijandez El Vampirascopio |
