Backstory:
Electric Brake formed in the vibrant music scene of Seattle in 2015. The band’s members – Julie Albrecht (lead vocals and keyboard), Rob Wilson (bass guitar), Bryan Chandler (lead guitar), and Craig Davis (drums) – were all involved in the city’s bustling local scene. They had been part of various groups, but always found themselves drifting back to each other. United by their shared love for alternative music and an insatiable desire to take their sound to new heights, the group decided to band together permanently, dubbing themselves Electric Brake.
Their big break came in 2017 when they won a local battle of the bands and earned their first record deal. Since then, Electric Brake has steadily grown in popularity, becoming known for their captivating live performances and unique perspective on the alternative music genre. With their edgy, unpredictable sound and authentic lyrics, they’ve carved out a special niche for themselves in the music industry.
