Electrophonic Revolution is the debut and only studio album released by English boy band Phixx, formed from the five runners-up of the ITV reality television series Popstars: The Rivals who failed to make it into the boy band One True Voice. It was released in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2004, but despite the four singles from the album—"Hold on Me", "Love Revolution", "Wild Boys" and "Strange Love"—all making the Top 20, the album failed to chart. Just after the release of "Wild Boys", Peter Smith left the band to pursue a solo career and to give him more time to write music.

Background

In February 2003, Phixx signed to Hyperactive Management, who had previously been successful with Liberty X.[1]

The videos and dance routines for their first two singles aroused media attention for their content, as they often featured the band topless or naked, often in sexually suggestive and aggressive situations with other men.

In autumn 2004 Phixx toured South Africa, where they were already popular. There they released Electrophonic Revolution and it became the best-selling album for their South African record company Sheer Music. The band co-wrote some of the songs for the album with Lee Ryan from Blue, Brian McFadden (formerly of Westlife), Alistair Griffin, Ultra, and Theo from Liberty X. All the tracks were produced by John McLaughlin, who had previously worked with Busted.

In December 2004, the band recorded a Christmas song written by Matt Baker for the children's show Blue Peter. This song was available as a free download from the Blue Peter website in the weeks leading up to Christmas, but it was never released for sale.
