Electro-Shock for President is the second extended play from the band Brainiac.
This EP was intended to be a teaser for Brainiac's fourth album, expected to be their major label debut on Interscope Records.
However, vocalist and keyboard player Tim Taylor died in a car accident shortly after the EP's release.
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails noted in a BBC radio show (May 2005) that Brainiac was "really inspiring to me from a sonic standpoint."
He went on to say that while recording 2005's With Teeth, he would use Electro-Shock for President as a sound reference.
