---------------------------------
The next big thing // Local rock group Electra is ready to light up the world (Jerusalm post review)
"Writing a perfect summer pop song is not as easy as Nitzan Horesh makes it look. “Coming To Get You,” the insanely catchy ska-driven rocker by his band Electra that has permeated local airwaves in recent months, would sound great with the car top down, cruising down the highway to the beach. A great song is undeniable, but was “Coming To Get You” a fluke aligning of the stars or is there a band of substance behind it? A quick listen to Electra’s debut English-language full-length album, Heartbreaks for Fools, immediately confirms that the single was only the tip of a huge iceberg of musical talent that Horesh and his bandmates possess and are ready to unleash on an unsuspecting public. Imagine taking the innocent, spunky British Invasion rock of the fiction One-ders from the Tom Hanks film That Thing You Do and spiking it with Buzzcocks/Jam-era punk, the new wave pop stylings of The Cars, healthy slices of sped-up reggae, rockabilly and an allegiance to the power of concise songs and arrangements as exemplified by the masters at Motown, and you begin to enter the netherworld of Electra. The band’s ability to mine the past while still sounding utterly contemporary, combined with the fact that they sound like virtually nobody else on the local horizon, has prompted some to proclaim the band as the next big thing. Yediot Aharonot pretty much called Heartbreaks for Fools the best album of the year in a recent sterling review and urged readers to run out and buy the album". (Jeusalem Post)

“The thing is that what they do, they do with real love for Rock N’ Roll. You can feel it throughout the show and the smiling faces of the audience reveal that they are loved, adored. These kinds of sounds and melodies are the fun in the shows and ElEctra’s show is just that” (Michael Rodberger, City Mouse magazine)
------------------------
"A wake up call for Israeli music.This album gives us optimism that this time round there's a real chance for rocknroll made in this land" (Alex Polonsky, Nana 10 site)
----------------------
One of the most interesting pop-rock groups in the world this year (NRG website)
----------------------
Electra got the best frontman we've seen around here in about 20 years (Asaf nevo, Mako website)
----------------------
Pure star quality on stage, and their album is one of the best and most important albums to come out of Israel, just perfect! (Music Post website)
----------------------
The excellence in playing, the perfection in orchestrating are clear from the first hearing of the album. One great pleasure (Avishai Matia, Globes magazine)
----------------------
"One of the strongest and most surpring musical act that grew in Israel in recent years. Their live gig is wild in the very original sense of the term, but their vocal harmonies are striking each and every time. They do mean bussines, no doubt about it, but their vibe is full of fun. That’s the magic of this band. When people came out of the venue you could notice an Intense pulsed light from their eyes (Playlist website)
