“One turned into two
Now I’m thinking about you”
–“Drunk and Alone”

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN today (May 9) release their latest single/video “Drunk and Alone,” from their highly anticipated fourth album IV (MoMojo Records) out June 6. Watch the video HERE.

For the bracing “Drunk and Alone,” the ferocious singer, songwriter, and guitarist and his band teamed up with his friend, director Nyke Van Wyk, for the gritty, moving clip which DOUGLAS reveals is autobiographical.

“This one is extremely personal for me. It’s one of those songs where I was reluctant to even put it on the record due to the vulnerability of it all.

“I wrote this on one of my darker days,” he adds, revealing he hasn’t had a drink in two years. “Sometimes you have to see the bottom to realize enough is enough.”

“Drunk and Alone” marks the third track/video from the IV album, following the previous singles/videos: “Dangerous Game” (listen HERE and watch the video HERE) and “Damage” (listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE).

Fronted by 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, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude both on stage and in the studio.

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

“IV is an album inspired by letting go of any musical chains,” says 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 is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES.

They’ve 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.

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN
TODAY (APRIL 11) RELEASE SECOND SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR “DANGEROUS GAME”
FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘IV’
OUT JUNE 6 ON MOMOJO RECORDS
LISTEN TO THE TRACK HERE AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

“Douglas is also a world class guitarist, making him and his power trio the band to watch in 2025.” – Rock Blues and Muse (3/14/2025)

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN have today (April 11) released the second single and video for “Dangerous Game” from their highly anticipated fourth album IV (MoMojo Records) due out June 6. Listen to the track HERE and watch the video HERE.

“Dangerous Game” 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,’” Douglas says. “My love of AC/DC and The Cult inspired this vibe. It felt good to turn up and tune out.”

“We wanted to try something completely different and fresh,” Douglas adds about the song’s video. “Like the track itself, the video is raw and intense with a single, hand-held camera approach. I feel the vibe of the video perfectly fits the energy of the song.”

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, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude both on stage and in the studio.

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. The album 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).

“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.”

The new track follows the album’s first single “Damage” (released last month) which Rock Blues and Muse (March 14) 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.”

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.

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN
ROLL OUT VIDEO FOR MOODY ACOUSTIC BALLAD
“CHANGE”
AHEAD OF THIS FRIDAY’S RELEASE OF

THE MODERN BLUES-ROCK BAND’S THIRD ALBUM
‘BLACK LEATHER BLUES’
ON APRIL 14 VIA MOMOJO RECORDS
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Modern blues rock band DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN today (April 12) roll out the video for the moody acoustic ballad “Change” ahead of this Friday’s release of their third album BLACK LEATHER BLUES on MoMojo Records. Watch the video, directed by Jonathan Edwards and filmed on location in the band’s home state of Pennsylvania, HERE. Pre-save the album HERE.

DUSTIN’s soulful vocals and aching electric guitar lines in “Change” underline the song’s blunt lyrics about wanting to move beyond a life that has become stagnant. “It was one of those times in life when the same daily routine, same scenery, same songs on the radio, same everything just became monotonous and boring,” reveals the singer, songwriter and guitarist about what inspired him to write the song. “Lyrically it really doesn’t beat around the bush—I just wanted a change from it all. I think a lot of people can relate.”

“Same old town
Same old regrets
Same old dreams
Ain’t come true yet
Same old show
On the same old TV
Same old you
Same old you and me
We need a change
We could use a little, change”

“I’ve always had a soft spot for a good ballad—I always try to throw at least one on every record,” explains DUSTIN. “The funny thing is, I didn’t set out to write a slower song for Black Leather Blues. I was almost against it, but something happened when I strummed those opening chords of what is now ‘Change.’ It just wrote itself and I’m very proud of it. Although it’s slower than some of our other material, I think the fans will be able to relate to the song and find the acoustic vibe a bit refreshing.”

DUSTIN continues, “This was the first non-performance video I’ve shot, and I certainly felt vulnerable at times not having a guitar or band to hide behind. Most times great things lie beyond that fear of vulnerability.”

To capture the song’s introspective mood, director Jonathan Edwards filmed the “Change” video in black and white. Most of the scenes were lensed, says DUSTIN, “in Pringle, PA in a remote area and a friend’s house and property. Other scenes were shot in Pittston PA. The diner scene was at my friend Victor’s Pizza Joint named Tony’s Pizza (shout out to Victor for the support!).”

The female role in the video is played by Amber Lynn Fisk. “That’s my wife” reveals DUSTIN. “This is her onscreen debut. After some convincing and bribery, I was able to convince her to be the lead role in the video. She killed it!” DUSTIN adds: “The viewer is led to believe the female character is walking away and changing her life, but the twist comes where the actual change involves the couple leaving together.”

Meanwhile, look for DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN to celebrate the release of BLACK LEATHER BLUES with a local show at River Street Jazz Café (667 N River St, Plains, PA 18705) on Saturday, April 22. Doors are at 8:00 PM.

Featuring 10 songs all written by Douglas, BLACK LEATHER BLUES highlights their dynamic, heavy, swagger-injected, sexy & dirty, blues-influenced rock n’ roll and captures the band’s vintage sound and vibe to modern ears. It was launched with the first single/video “Broken” and followed by “Why Would You Say Such A Thing”; watch it HERE. Rock & Blues Muse described the song as “a tough-toned blues/rock track with a big riff, a danceable beat, and a hard-nosed attitude.”

Fronted by the impressively fluid lead guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt “The Dane” Gabriel—command the stage with virtuosic musicianship and classic-rock spirit mixed with punk rock attitude. All I’m trying to do is continue the tradition of The Stones, Zeppelin and The Faces,” says Dustin Douglas. “Take the traditional blues spirit, mix it with some heavy rock n’ roll and play it for a new generation.

“But it ain’t your poppa’s blues,” he adds. “I listen to Rage Against the Machine as much as I listen to Muddy Waters. That blend of influences is what makes it unique.”

BLACK LEATHER BLUES 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 by Brian Moncarz (Alice Cooper, Our Lady Peace, Phillip Sayce) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys, Buddy Guy, Doyle Bramhall II, Green Day, Liam Gallagher, Elvis Costello.)

Watch the video, directed by Jonathan Edwards and filmed at Diamond City Studios in Wilkes Barres, PA, HERE. Listen to the single, released 2/24, HERE.

“From the moment I wrote it, I felt it would be a signature song for us,” says Dustin Douglas about “Why Would You Say Such A Thing.” “It defines what we do as a band.”

The video was premiered by Rock & Blues Muse, which described the song as “a tough-toned blues/rock track with a big riff, a danceable beat, and a hard-nosed attitude. Dustin Douglas is an excellent guitarist, singer, and focus point for the band, tearing it up on all levels. The Electric Gentlemen behind him are a nimble and aggressive rhythm section that moves and grooves with vintage class and modern authority. The accompanying music video only enhances the band’s lowdown rock and roll vibe. Blast this one first thing in the morning and feel yourself come back to life.”
