Hi Voltage
Authentic Rockabilly from Scotland.
".... I also liked 'Used to be' by Hi Voltage a lot, which has a bit of a 'Caravans' feel ..." Christoph (Germany)
"Last year was great. We started off playing in Nashville and Las Vegas and it just kept getting better all year. It was such a good feeling playing in America where this music was born. We had a good time slot on the last night, the hall was packed and everyone was ready to have a good time. From what I have seen from the photo on the web the band looked to have had a ball. Check out the Viva las Vegas website. But why has Vince got Charlie Thompson's guitar? Originally, the band were going to be getting all of the equipment supplied, but there was a bit of a mix-up and when we got there, Vince had to borrow the acoustic from Charlie and Paul ended up using Bobby Horton's electric guitar. By the way, a big thanks to you guys for bailing us out at the last minute. 2002 was very hectic for the band. 'We were pretty much playing live or in the studio every weekend last year. We also found time to start a new rockin' club called 'Radio' up in Edinburgh. We hope that people will check it out whenever they are up this way.'" Koolsville

"Das Highlight ist aber 'Used to be' mit einem Rhythmus und Gitarren-Riff im Stil von John Lee Hookers 'Boogie chillun', wer da nicht mit den Füßen zu wippen beginnt, hat ein echtes Problem..." Dynamite #31
"Hi Voltage est un quintet écossias (Edimbourg) qui pratique un Rockabilly musclé (électrique diraient les amateurs de l'Almanach Vermot!!). A défaut d'être dangereux, leur album est une bonne bouffée de Rockabilly alternant compos et reprises. Le guitariste Paul Peterson (ex Radium Cats, groupe psycho) qui aime émailler ses solos de références souvent très inspirées par Cliff Gallup (qui ne l'est pas?) et le chanteur Keith Turner à la voix grave et hoquetante représentent les chevilles ouvrières de ce groupe. Je me suis bien éclaté sur 'Jump start boogie' et 'Two time lover', les deux compos du chanteur et particulièrement sur le bopper, très boogie chillen, avec pedal steel 'Used to be', meilleur morceau de l'album et compo du batteur Ian Morris."
