I came across Electric Callboy a few days after they released their single "Pump It" in December 2021. I think the reason I had not discovered them sooner was because I have a particular aversion to "metalcore" as a genre, so I likely assumed that EC was not my cup of tea and never bothered to give them a proper listen. But as I later found out, they're not just straight up metalcore. They blend metalcore with electronic music and a kick-ass sense of humour.
I saw them live in March 2023. It was well worth the COVID I got afterwards, and the likelihood I'll never see them live again now that they're arena popular. I hate arenas!
