DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN
(Bio)

Raw, relentless, and dripping with soul—DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN are the modern torchbearers of heavy, Blues-Rock. The band’s highly anticipated fourth album IV via MoMojo Records is a raw, unapologetic, Blues-Rock master course.

“IV is an album inspired by letting go of any musical chains,” says Dustin Douglas. “I had no intention of following any genre restraints or restrictions.”

“I wanted to take as many chances as possible,” he adds. “IV certainly has all the elements that make us who we are, but there’s certainly some new and exciting sonic territories being discovered this time around.”

IV—the fourth studio endeavor from Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen—is a raw, unapologetic, Blues-Rock Master course.  It is a powerhouse album drenched in whiskey-soaked riffs and soaring Rock n’ Roll vocals that once again display Douglas’ meteoric rise as one of the heaviest hitters in the Blues-Rock world.

Fronted by ferocious guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt Gabriel—are known to deliver a heavy dose of swagger, groove, rock ‘n’ roll attitude both on stage and in the studio.

IV was recorded at Eight Days a Week Studios in Northumberland, PA by Paul Smith (Badlees), who engineered and co-produced the album with Douglas.  It was mixed and mastered by Nick Coyle (Lifer, Drama Club, Death Valley Dreams).

The new track follows the album’s first single “Damage” (released last month) which Rock Blues and Muse (3/14/2025) praised: “Infusing a vintage feel into a modern rock n’ roll vibe, Dustin Douglas has the pipes for rock n’ roll with soul, and he coils himself around this down and dirty song with his made-for-rock voice. The band’s new single is a supercharged, fresh take on their signature, genre defying brand of Blues Rock. Douglas is also a world class guitarist, making him and his power trio the band to watch in 2025.”

“Dangerous Game,” the second single from IV, leans heavily into the band’s Rock n’ Roll side. With a signature guitar riff destined to be one of his best, Dustin Douglas not only sings with power and grit of a dangerous romance but emits the feeling through a six-string fury. The song is a classic rock-rooted adventure with an injection of sleaze and power.

“My Rock n’ Roll side on full display with ‘Dangerous Game,’” says Douglas. “My love of AC/DC and The Cult inspired this vibe.  It felt good to turn up and tune out.”

IV is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES.

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN have been nominated and won numerous awards including Steamtown Music Awards (Scranton, PA) Central Penn-sylvania Music Awards, Independent Blues Music Awards, and Blues Blast Music Awards.
