Sweden's Electric Boys were one of the first and most celebrated purveyors of the short-lived funk metal phenomenon of the late '80s and early '90s. Led by charismatic singer and guitarist Conny Bloom, the quartet garnered rave reviews and built a large following in Europe with their debut album, Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride (1989), and its 1990 reissue, which included their biggest hit "All Lips N’ Hips." The group disbanded in the mid-'90s but re-formed in the 2010s with their original lineup and signature sound -- which also included elements of pop and psychedelia -- intact, releasing a string of high-energy efforts like Starflight United (2014), The Ghost Ward Diaries (2018), and Grand Explosivos (2023) that paired earworm melodies with funky grooves.
