Electric Callboy
The Masonic — San Francisco, CA

Electric Callboy started as a German metalcore band with electronic flourishes, then basically reinvented themselves around 2020 when they shifted toward a more synth-heavy, industrial-influenced sound. The shift wasn't some gradual drift—it was pretty deliberate. Songs like 'Ava' and 'Pump It' showed them leaning hard into melodic, almost pop-adjacent hooks while keeping the heaviness intact, which shouldn't work but somehow does. They're the kind of band that makes sense in a room full of people who like both Bring Me The Horizon and actual electronic music. Their lyrics tend toward introspection and relationships rather than the typical metalcore angst, which gives them a different vibe than a lot of their peers. They've built a genuinely dedicated fanbase partly because they don't seem interested in playing it safe.

Chaotic in the best way. Crowd's constantly moving, mixing mosh pits with people just vibing to the synths. Singer is genuinely engaged, band plays with precision even when everything feels loose. Heavy moments hit hard, melodic moments connect.

San Francisco's metal scene has always leaned toward the experimental side, from thrash's Bay Area origins to the city's current appetite for bands that blur genre lines. The heavy music community here appreciates technicality and ambition, which aligns with Electric Callboy's progressive take on metalcore. It's a city that rewards bands willing to do more than play it straight.

Stay in Hayes Valley or the Mission—both neighborhoods have the kind of restaurants and bars that make a weekend feel deliberate rather than touristy. Head to State Bird Provisions for dinner if you can get in; it's precise and inventive without being pretentious. Spend a day in Muir Woods or hiking around Twin Peaks for actual views of the city. The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is worth a couple hours if the weather holds. Hit up a coffee place on Valencia Street in the Mission just to sit and watch the neighborhood move around you.
