1998 may have been one of the most boring years for music. But one ray of sunshine came out of the bag. Featuring 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel, the band sold over 7 million copies with there album in 2001. The Gorillaz then created a second album in 2005 entitled “Demon Days.” With hits such as ‘Feel Good Inc.’, ‘Dare’ and ‘Kids With Guns,’ the band were heading the right direction. After their huge success they decided to have a break. But now there back and better than ever! During our exclusive interview with the band, we were able to sneak a listen at two of the tracks on their new album Electric Shock! ‘Broken’ and ‘Stylo.’ Both tracks follow the original style created by The Gorillaz mixing alternative rock and DUB, commonly know and DUB Rock. From the previous album, The Gorillaz promised us they had, ‘Greatly improved the music experience” of their music and that the new upcoming album was to have a fresh feel to it whilst incorporating the old school feel of The Gorillaz. Well from the 2 songs we heard, they have far surpassed this statement. However, when band

member and artist Jamie Hewlett said, “I’m so fucking bored of drawing those characters.” We came to realise that the improvements are not just going to be in the music, but the artistic side of The Gorillaz too. After their award winning videos, we expect to see The Gorillaz back on form with there videos, in their original style and fashion, but we were exclusively told that the characters will “be the same characters, but a little bit older and told in a different way.” Is this the truth? or Jamie’s way of covering an interview ? At this point, your guess is as good as ours, but what’s for sure is that the 3rd album will be bigger, badder and better than ever. Although there were rumours about the Gorillaz founder Damon Albarn going and leaving Jamie to run the band, Damon confirmed that this was untrue and that the Gorillaz were as strong as ever and if anything, they were going to be

from the simple mindless music that has stormed the charts for the
past few years. There come back is, as before underrated, but as they proved to us last time, the more music that they produce, the better it gets. So keeping that in mind, we advise you keep an eye out for the upcoming album and check our website and magazines for more details. Following on from out earlier comments, we also managed to squeeze out of them that, after there album release, they will be performing live with exclusive musicians and also touring with other bands to create some original and unheard performances! Although they were unable to tell us exactly who these “exclusive musicians” were or which bands they are performing with, they promised us that, this was definitely something not too miss and the show will be “Epic!” Overall, the album looks extremely promising, from the musical and graphical side and should definitely not be taken lightly. Also, the shows at the end of the album should be better than ever and The Gorillaz take control of the U.K with Electric Shock.
