BAND'S STORY:
220 Volt (founded 1979) was among the top hard rock acts in Scandinavia during the 80's and released their first,
self titled album on CBS in June 1983. The band then went on to release five albums between 1983-1988.
The last one recorded in the 80's was the album Eye to Eye which is their best selling album internationally,
and it was also on heavy rotation on MTV and many radio stations around the world. It was produced by
legendary producer Max Norman (Ozzy/Megadeth/Y&T etc..) and who also has mixed 5 tracks for “Walking In Starlight”.
The band’s reputation was built on frequent album releases and energetic live shows. Besides performing their
own headline shows, the Swedes have also toured as support for AC/DC and Nazareth among others. In 1985,
220 Volt performed in front of 80.000 people in Warsaw, Poland. The show was broadcasted live on Polish TV,
among the first ever TV-shows in the eastern block to feature a hard rock band.
220 Volt split up in 1992, but released the studio album Lethal Illusion in 1997.
The quartet was active for a while between 2002-2008 with members from an earlier line-up and produced two albums,
“Volume 1” and the live album “Made in Jamtland”. Songs like “Firefall”, “Love Is All You Need”, “Beat Of A Heart”,
“The Harder They Come”, “Heavy X-mas” and “Power Games” to name a few, still get airplay around the world...
Songs you'll be likely to hear live again soon!
