Hot Chelle Rae's 2009 debut album,
Lovesick Electric, features the Nashville band's propulsive and radio-friendly emo and post-punk-influenced dance-rock. Showcasing the talents of vocalist
Ryan Keith Follese, guitarist
Nash Overstreet, drummer
Jamie Follese, and bassist
Ian Keaggy, the album also features production from alt-rock masterminds
Butch Walker and
Eric Valentine. These are engaging, melodic, danceable, and passionate songs that bring to mind the yearning emo-pop of
Metro Station along with the '80s-influenced dance-rock sound of
the Killers.
Lovesick Electric includes the singles "I Like to Dance" and "Bleed."
