News: 9 June 2006
The Volts have been signed by Killed By Death Records in Europe. Debut album "Rock n Roll, Rant n Rave: to be released in July.


THE VOLTS formed in Sydney in early 2003 from the ashes of several successful outfits and out of the desire to Rock. Rock hard. Rock well. And Rock often.

There’s nothing these boys like doing more than getting on stage and hammering out their well crafted garage-blues tunes and it shows in the energy they generate at every show.

If you think Rock never went away, it just got better and a little more ornery every year, then you think like The Volts.

If you think The Hives and The Datsuns are just as important to your last weekend as The Stooges and AC/DC, then you’ll be thinking these guys are a must see next weekend.

The thing that really sets these guys apart is the love of what they’re doing and the conviction that they’re doing it right.

Lansdowne Hotel gig review:
"Aussie pub via Detroit is the volts ME thinks, ... as the Volters
(yes they are worthy) peel and reveal, you cannot fail to bow down. Tighter than a muggers wallet, The Volts is Radio Birdman getting seriously messed up by the swagger of Acca Dacca. Oh so Tasty squealing lead guitar, rolling rhythms with a dirty yet restrained alcohol edge to the vocal.
Come to the end, myself and the rest stumble out with a aint you glad u came smile to the dial its only rockn roll but we like it" Steve Anderson - Drum Media
