Electric Frankenstein is an American band from Whippany, Clifton, and other areas of New Jersey. Their music is generally considered punk rock, but includes elements of hard rock and heavy metal as well. Because of this, they have sometimes been referred to as AC/DC meets The Dead Boys. Their style of music is generally called High Energy Punk Rock & Roll, which combines the raw and energetic sounds of Punk Rock and Garage Punk (Dead Boys, Ramones, Damned, Misfits, etc.) with elements of Hard Rock played by bands like MC5, Stooges, AC/DC, Kiss, Mott the Hoople, Alice Cooper, and so on.

History

The band was formed in 1991 by brothers Sal and Dan Canzonieri aka Danny Frankenstein. With Sal on guitar and Dan on bass, they finished their lineup with Frankie Orlandini on vocals, Jim Foster on lead guitar and John Caton on drums. They developed a strong following in New York City and by 1995 they toured nationally and internationally. After releasing singles on a handful of independent labels, they released their first vinyl EP, The Time Is Now, in 1995 which was released on CD with tracks from 7" singles as their first full-length album. Since then, they have released over 10 albums with almost every album being released on a different label.
