Electric Six is a six-piece Detroit-based band that plays an "energetic" and "unique" brand of rock music infused with elements of "garage, disco, punk, new wave, and metal." The band met underground recognition in 2001 with the single "Danger! High Voltage," and subsequently recorded three full-length albums: Fire, Señor Smoke, and the recently released Switzerland.

The band formed in 1996 and was initially known as The Wildbunch, eventually dropping that name due to pressure from the Bristol trip hop collection of the same name. Throughout the latter half of the '90s, they played regularly at the Old Miami and the Gold Dollar in Detroit, the center of a scene that produced breakout acts like the White Stripes.
