The Electrophonics have been active since 2001. The band members have already gained a lot of experience in other bands. Their trademark is West Coast blues as also made by James Harman, Kim Wilson and Rod Piazza. Almost from the beginning there were only promising words for this band and her music. All that was missing was a CD. Now, almost five years after creation, it is finally there. With their live performances, The Electrophonics has already built up a solid reputation. The release of a CD is therefore not entirely without risk. During 11 songs, the Electrophonics have been very successful in entrusting their approach to the West Coast blues to this disc. The result is a swinging album of a band where the band members are well-matched and there is enough space for the individual band members to display their ability. With the album, The Electrophonics once again appears to belong to the top of the Dutch blues scene. -- Translated with Google Translate from their website.

The Electrophonics - 2 albums: Little A Lot / Catch That Swingtrain Live: The Moulin Blues 2007 Recordings

Stephan Hermsen - Vocals, Guitar, Bluesharp; Ronald Roodbol - Upright bass; Mo Gomez - Guitar; Ivo Sieben - Piano, Hammond; Marc Gijbels - Drums; Evert Hoedt - Baritone sax; Wim Crijns - Tenor sax.

The swingtrain is ragin' on, and rolling steady from station to station, and how… With their confidence and their large devotion to blues music, these men already performed on many big & small stages. The reviews are laudative, and with reason: The Electrophonics is one of the finest retro-swing-jump-r&b band, sounding like that early fifties style.

Their cd “Feels Like A Million” released in januari 2006 - containing only self written songs - is received very positively by press and a large group of fans. Their next live album “Catch That Swingtrain” released in November 2007 (recorded during the Moulin Blues festival) and their second & third studio albums "Little A Lot" (June 2009) & ¨Talkin´About!¨ (October 2012) also received very positive reviews and eventually cleared the way for the larger festivals in Europe, like the Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival in Peer and North Sea Jazz in Rotterdam.

A performance of The Electrophonics speeds on like a rolling swing train! Guitar & piano combined with the Phonics Horns take care for excellent solo performances. The upright bass and swingdrums lay a solid foundation…. And of course the enthusiastic singer and guitarist Stephan Hermsen, that will make every audience move their feet.

"Hey Now! If you love Big Fat Horns, Jump & Swing. Mix it all together then bingo, here it is, an album that's got all that. If that's the groove that scratches your itch then this Jumpers for you. A 50's Rock & Roll dance party guaranteed!"

After the album releases of “Feels Like A Million” (2006), “Catch That Swingtrain (live 2007)” and “Little A Lot” (2009), the 3rd Electrophonics studio album “Talkin’ About” is now presented right in front of you.

In the 1980’s the Phonics members attended their very first festivals where they collected their first music albums, vinyl, cassettes and CD’s. The band became acquainted and fell in love with blues music. In the year 2000 the Electrophonics were founded and years after with great performances, awesome reviews, loyal fans the story continues.

A new sound? Absolutely! The influences of blues, swing, R&B, jump and jazz are still very much present and audible, as they have always been in the traditional Phonics repertoire. Front man Stephan’s blues harp was replaced by a guitar. And how about the Phonics Horns: joining members Evert (alto and baritone saxophone) and André (tenor saxophone) make for a steaming and solid setup. Besides the piano Ivo now plays the Hammond, a wonderful instrument of endless possibilities. Ronald (upright bass) and Peter (Ludwig drums) remain as persistent driving force, the rhythmic motor of the band!
