"[This band] utilise the same prog-indie sound as a lot of Muse copyists but unlike most of their peers they've got tunes (very uplifting ones n' all). Hard hitting and emotive stuff." - Bugbear Promotions, Nov. 2008.
Electralyte can regularly be seen turning out with their grass roots following at venues across the capital, taking in the Water Rats, the Hope & Anchor and the O2 Academy Islington in support of bands like Officer Kicks (recent support for Razorlight, The Hoosiers). At home Electralyte are beginning to stand out as one of the fore-runners of the local music scene playing on invitation at Club NME Barhouse, receiving a nomination as Best Band in the Panic Magazine Awards 2009 and getting regular air-play week-on-week on BBC Essex Introducing (Fridays 7pm, 103.5FM).
In the Autumn of 2009, Electralyte will be heading on a tour of the South-East in support of BBC three's decision to use one of the bands latest tracks on the soundtrack of their new sitcom 'Fresh'.
The depth of Electralyte's musical arrangements produces a sound-scape that is as thoughtful and diverse as the sharp lyrical content. The songs come across as a combination of indie, dance, rock, electro referencing recent bands such as Bloc Party, Magistrates, Franz Ferdinand, Haunts and the Arctic Monkeys. Throw on top of this the melodic finesse of performers such as The Jam, Blur, The Carpenters and Rufus Wainwright and Electralyte's musical connection is made.
Electralyte are:
Matt Leeder - Vocals, Guitars
Dave Griffiths - Guitars
Paul Leverett - Bass, Vocals
Jon Mitson - Drums, Vocals

Electralyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna push the boundaries
Of my existance here, of my existence here.
Don't wanna hear enough is enough
I'm desperate for that crazy rush
When I break out of here, when I break out of here.
And even though it's all been tried before
Than it has ever been before, than it has ever been before?
Just hold tight to the truth
It's making old things new
We'll stand on giants renewed
Till we reach the top
It's my ancient-future faith
It's being honest with today
Cause me on to break new ground and win the race.
Ho yeah! Ho yeah!
Can't believe I'm just a Duracell
I'm no disciple of a Hollywood hell
We've got to keep it real, we've got to keep it real.
The opportunity is there every day
Lend a hand, don't get in the way
Diggin' deep and holding on, diggin' deep and holding on.
And even though it's all been tried before
Isn't there a chance that we can make it more
Than it has ever been before, than it has ever been before?
Just hold tight to the truth
It's making old things new
We'll stand on giants renewed
Till we reach the top
It's my ancient-future faith
It's being honest with today
Cause me on to break new ground and win the race.
Ho yeah! Ho yeah!
I break out of here x8
Just hold tight to the truth
It's making old things new
We'll stand on giants renewed
Till we reach the top
It's my ancient-future faith
It's being honest with today
Cause me on to break new ground and win the race.
Ho yeah! Ho yeah!
In "Breakout," Electralyte sings about a yearning for freedom and excitement. The opening lines "I wanna drive at high speeds, I wanna push the boundaries" suggest a desire to escape the restrictions of everyday life and experience something more exhilarating. The chorus repeats the phrase "when I break out of here," which could refer to breaking free from one's current situation and pursuing something greater. The lyrics also suggest a desire to make a difference and do something meaningful, with lines such as "Lend a hand, don't get in the way, Diggin' deep and holding on" and "Cause me on to break new ground and win the race."
The second half of the song focuses on the idea of staying true to oneself and being authentic. The lines "Can't believe I'm just a Duracell, I'm no disciple of a Hollywood hell" suggest a rejection of superficiality and a desire to be real. The bridge ("Just hold tight to the truth, It's making old things new, We'll stand on giants renewed") reinforces this idea of finding strength in authenticity.
