If you only had access to Daneeeboy.com, you could be forgiven for thinking that Lady GaGa is the only woman recording electro-pop goodness at the moment.  Sorry about that.

So here’s a nice alternative from the lovely little town of London.  They are a band called The Ultrasonics, an unashamedly electro pop bunch headed up by a bleach blonde lass called Johanna.  And they are very good.  They sound a little bit like US west coast electro groups Ultraviolet Sound and Stefy (two fantastic bands to sound like, if you’re asking me).  They are set to release their debut single, “Perfect Girl” via iTunes and other digital stores this summer.

According to their press release thinger…

“Already championed by the likes of Popjustice (the UK’s number one pop music site) and EQ, ‘Perfect Girl’ is a true electropop gem. The track draws influences from classic ‘80s pop, with a nod towards the synth-laden sounds of The Human League and Depeche Mode.

‘Perfect Girl’ acts as a perfect introduction to the group’s fusion of retro and 21^st Century electro.”

Oh right, then.  I’ll add a Daneeeboy quote: “They make me feel dirty in a good way.  Also the lead singer sounds a bit like a more talented Jenny Frost.“

In all seriousness, I hope The Ultrasonics are a band we will be hearing more from over the coming months.  They will be performing alongside Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alphabeat and Client at Manchester Pride on the 25th Of August, the same day “Perfect Girl” hits digital stores.

Bout time we had a decent UK electro group.  You can hear the single, and a fantastic extremely 80’s sounding corker called “It’s Over Now” via their MySpace.
