Electric Guilt Trip

Electric Guilt Trip's frontman, Dave Peyton, is a Singer/Songwriter/Musician, hailing from Daingean, Co. Offaly. He was raised in this small country town in the midlands of Ireland after he and his family moved down from the big smoke (DUBLIN) in the early 80’s.

For the past few years Dave has been giging extensively and trying out his new material on crowds around the Country and across the water. He has been very fortunate with his gigs, having shared stages in small venues and big festivals with Irelands finest, The Blizzards, The Frames, Mundy, The Pogues, The Hothouse Flowers, Declan O’Rourke, Ronnie Drew, The Walls, and many International Acts such as, Avril lavigne, Star Sailor, The Editors, Sister Sledge, The Mystery Jets.

Dave decided that it was time he got his album finished and out to his existing audience and the rest of the world. Dave has spent the last year working on songs, spending lots of time on preproduction for his debut solo album 'Couch Lovers' which he has recorded in Dockside Studio, [Maurice, Louisiana].

Electric Guilt Trip's music has been described as driven and dynamic with killer riffs, all topped off by Dave's charismatic melodic vocals. Dave’s voice is without doubt his strongest attribute. Be it delicate, heart-wrenching melodies or soaring, anthemic choruses, Dave has a voice that can capture the spirit and lift the soul. This shines through in his music. Comparisons don’t come easy and he has a sound that is truly unique.

Thomas Black (EMI Records) described Dave Peyton as one of the best singer songwriters he’d seen in years and took him to the UK where he worked with legendary producer Steve Osbourne (New Order, Placebo, Suede, U2, Radiohead, KT Tunstall), who likened his music to a cross between The Stooges and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
