Hailing from the Cleveland, Ohio one of the most important towns for visceral genre bending rock during the early-70s pre-punk era, the Electric Eels were easily the most dangerous of the city's bands. Embracing a confrontational, decidedly un-PC aesthetic and approach, and a sound so cacophonous for the times it made Captain Beefheart seem positively toe-tapping, the Electric Eels were indeed a prototype for punk. And anthems such as "Cyclotrone," "Agitated," and "Jaguar Ride" remain as visceral and "shocking" as anything the punk movement proper has produced since.
Members of Electric Eels include, or have included, Anton Fier and Nick Knox.
