Electric Century is an American rock band formed by former My Chemical Romance bassist Mikey Way and Sleep Station vocalist and New London Fire guitarist David Debiak.[1] Justin Siegel, formerly of Stars in Stereo and City (Comma) State, quickly joined the band after their formation.[2]
Mikey Way, the band's frontman, said in an interview that he had been wanting to start Electric Century since he was in seventh grade when he wrote "Electric Century" on a notebook in science class. He also stated that he had music written and plans for the band as early as 2001.[3]
The band released their first song "I Lied" on February 25, 2014. In August of the same year, the band started recording their first studio album. Their second song, "Let You Get Away", was released on January 13, 2015. The band announced their debut EP on March 10, 2015 and it is set to be released on Record Store Day on April 18, 2015.
