Fire by Electric Six
Fire is an album by Electric Six, released in 2003. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Danger! High Voltage!”, on 6 lists with a best position of #17.
Fire, Electric Six's debut studio album, came out on XL Recordings in 2003, May 20 in the US and June 30 in the UK, and it's the sound of a Detroit band that crammed punk, metal, disco and new wave, plus a dose of garage grime, into one gleefully ridiculous party. Dick Valentine, co-founder, lead singer, main songwriter and the band's only constant, hollers every line like a lounge lizard gone feral, while the rest of the crew, all trading under stage names, keep the grooves greasy and loud.
"Danger! High Voltage" did the heavy lifting ahead of the album, going to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, and the record followed it to number 7 in the UK to good reviews. It's all swagger and camp, and it knows exactly how silly it is. Señor Smoke came next.
