In addition to limited edition colored vinyl, the remastered album includes new artwork by friend and famed artist COOP, extensive liner notes by Joel Gausten with additional insights by Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers), Tony Reflex (Adolescents), Ace Von Johnson (Faster Pussycat), plus Captain Sensible (The Damned), a digital download and an 18&#8243; x 24&#8243; poster of COOP&#8217;s \u2018Electric Bride.\u2019 The vinyl comes in limited quantities of black\/white\/green mix and orange\/yellow mix, and can be heard on all streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe re-release of\u00a0&#8216;How To Make A Monster&#8217;\u00a0was very important to us and we worked hard to make it something special for our fans,\u201d<\/em> confides bass player Dan Canzonieri. <em>\u201cIt&#8217;s hard to believe this record is 20 years old! We are celebrating this release by performing the album live in its entirety for the very first time in Europe starting in July. Our US fans will be able to see us play the album later this year and we will post dates as soon as they are confirmed. This includes a round two return to Europe in the fall.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally released in 1999, the album was the band&#8217;s first for Victory Records. Self-produced by\u00a0Electric Frankenstein,\u00a0&#8216;How To Make A Monster&#8217;\u00a0is a cesspool of &#8216;high octane punk rock, a blazing jam of stylishly low-slung rock and roll with attitude to the max,&#8217; as described by Metal Hammer. In addition to playing some of the most dynamic, ravenous, and menacing rock you&#8217;ve ever heard,\u00a0Electric Frankenstein\u00a0recognizes the importance of integrity &#8211; from giving proper nods to the architects of street-level rock (Iggy and the Stooges, AC\/DC), to fiercely supporting indie labels, to their constant efforts to put fans first ahead of profit, and their non-stop mission of battering in-your-face rock to packed venues across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image019.jpg?resize=436%2C436\" alt=\"ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN RE-ISSUE HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER cover\" class=\"wp-image-31580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image019.jpg?w=436&amp;ssl=1 436w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image019.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image019.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image019.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;<strong>How To Make A Monster&#8217;\u00a0track list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; I Was A Modern Prometheus\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>2 &#8211; Cut From The Inside<br>3 &#8211; Speed Girl\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>4 &#8211; Use Me\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>5 &#8211; Friction\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>6 &#8211; Feel The Burn (Chronic)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>7 &#8211; My World\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>8 &#8211; Don&#8217;t Know How To Stop You\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>9 &#8211; Up From The Streets\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>10 &#8211; Pretty Deadly\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>11 &#8211; Something For The Pain\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>12 &#8211; I&#8217;m Not Your (Nothing)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>13 &#8211; Phatty Boom Batty<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stream the album via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WYsHVbCHooQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=PLMx9IHnJeRpwj5K_7X_dA98mwxdjUUsxf\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also listen to the album through other methods and order vinyl <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Y6qHGe\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Electric Frankenstein tour dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>July 9th &#8211; Live at Lola &#8211; Grongingen, Netherlands<br>July 10th &#8211; Jugendhaus Schonau &#8211; Mannheim, Germany<br>July 11th &#8211; Wild At Heart &#8211; Berlin, Germany<br>July 12th &#8211; Monkeys Music Club &#8211; Hamburg, Germany<br>July 13th &#8211; SJOCK Festival &#8211; Gierle, Belgium<br>July 14th &#8211; Freak Show &#8211; Essen, Germany<br>July 15th &#8211; L&#8217;imposture &#8211; Lille, France<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Electric Frankenstein\u00a0is back celebrating the release of their 1999 LP\u00a0&#8216;How To Make A Monster&#8217;, with an all new re-issue vinyl release.
