“BAND PLAY THEIR OWN SONGS AT GLASTONBUDGET! - A rock and electronica band based near Tamworth has won a place on the critically acclaimed 'Glastonbudget Festival'. Electric Cake Salad from Kingsbury will play their own material alongside 130 other bands from across the UK. The festival is said to be the largest tribute and unsigned artists festival and takes place in Leicestershire from June 1st - 4th. Electric Cake Salad will be promoting their new album "CTRL+ALT+DEL". It has been produced by Wolfsbane's Jase Edwards at his Majestic Splendour Studios. "We're hoping this appearance will give us further exposure within the UK and further afield than the Midlands", said lead singer and guitarist Steve Gianolio-Jones.”

“Electric Cake Salad The last band of the night was Tamworth based Electric Cake Salad. A truly unique direction, that mixes elements of Classic-Rock/Metal, with Electronica for a refreshingly original and exciting sound. It’s good to see a band taking a few risks with their music, especially when it works as well as it does for these guys. Delivering one of the best and most memorable performances of the night they showed they have some real potential in this competition and beyond”

“Electric Cake Salad: very accomplished if a little safe, I liked their Sabbath cover of N.I.B, well I do like my Sabbath, even if they did stray a little too much. They were different, and in a what seems like an indentikit music scene where one band easily gets confused with another, they stood out. I liked”

— Melody Maker, Live Review

"Third band Electric Cake Salad may have taken note and started with a plea to 'synchronize your watches'. It's a fair request as their mix of 1970's metal guitar and 1990's sequencer noises demonstrated a noughties disregard for sticking in one musical time and space. Superstar is a fine brooding tune and The Zutons(Black Sabbath) You Will You Wont (NIB) was given a convincing 'space metal' treatment. These old friends of BOTBs are a band with the same set up as Carter USM, but are definately rock rather than indie".

— Tamworth Herald Newspaper, Tamworth BOTB

"REAL TALENT SHINES AS MUSICIANS DO BATTLE: The first band on were a surprise package as they were a late replacement for a qualifier that had dropped out. 'We're Electric Cake Salad, and we're here by default", said the singer, Steve. Even with just two days notice, Electric Cake Salad put together a storming set that actually seemed much brighter and confident than their first round performance. Their 'space metal' sound - crunching guitars, over processed beats - got the early crowd going as they performed solid tunes like Superstar with much conviction and competence. They even threw in a new cover as Seven Nation Army was turned into a techno-rock piece with giddy rhythms and a siren blare...........I'm sure that Electric Cake Salad will pick themselves up for the semi-final of Surface Unsigned later this month"
