Electro Hippies were an English thrashcore band formed in St Helens/Wigan, England, in 1985. Though they were short-lived and underground through their career, their music influenced many future crust, hardcore punk, and grindcore bands. The band relied heavily on low bass end sounds to create their low-fi, primitively produced music. They also incorporated elements of heavy metal and have been described as "proto-grindcore". The band strongly embraced the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) ethic which was very common among many early crust punk bands. The band's lyrics spoke heavily about animal rights and vegetarianism. A recurring lyrical theme on each LP targeted the McDonald's corporation, evidenced by the lyrics to "Run Ronald" and "Scum".

The band were supported by John Peel for whom they recorded a radio session in 1987, released as an EP by Strange Fruit Records the same year. The Electro Hippies included Jeff Walker (guitar, vocals) in their ranks. He later joined extreme metal band Carcass. When Walker joined Carcass full-time, Simon (drums) and Andy (guitar) took over vocal duties. Eventually, the band split up in 1989, playing one last gig and releasing the show as their final album.

  • Electro Hippies fue una banda de grindcore/crust punk formada en Liverpool, Reino Unido en 1985. Aunque siempre se mantuvieron "underground" durante toda su carrera, su música influenció a muchas bandas futuras de crust punk y hardcore punk. Tocaron también lo que pronto sería el Grindcore (Napalm Death serían los innovadores de ese género en el futuro). La banda usaba bajos para crear un buen sonido. La banda aplicó seriamente el D.I.Y. (do it yourself/hazlo tu mismo) que era muy común entre las bandas de crust punk. Las letras de la banda hablaban sobre los derechos de los animales y vegetarianismo. En cada LP criticaban a la corporación McDonalds (Algunas canciones como "Run Ronald" y "Scum" dirigían insultos a McDonalds). Los Electro Hippies fueron más conocidos por haber tenido a Jeffrey Walker (guitarra, vocales) quien después se uniría a la banda de Goregrind Carcass. Cuando Jeff se unió a Carcass por tiempo completo, (batería), (bajo), y Leo Kottke (guitarra) se hicieron cargo de la vocalización en la banda. Eventualmente, la banda se separó en 1989 lanzando su último concierto como álbum póstumo. (es)
  • Electro Hippies était un groupe de crust punk britannique formé en 1985. Malgré leur courte carrière et leur succès underground, le groupe est considéré comme ayant joué un rôle important dans l'évolution du genre grindcore et a inspiré de nombreux futurs groupes de crust, de hardcore et de grindcore. Leurs paroles, typiques du crust punk, traitaient de sujets comme l'anarchisme, la libération animale ou le végétarisme. Le chanteur Jeffrey Walker rejoignit plus tard le groupe de metal extrême Carcass en tant que bassiste. (fr)
