At the start of the month C.C. Voltage released a new 7", Berliner Pilsner b/w Bummer Party, on Yeah Right! Records (North American) and Snap Records (Spain).
The sound captures melodic, hook-driven DIY rock, drawing from the likes of Cheap Trick, Bad Nerves, and more.
The lineup supporting Voltage includes Jason Solyom (La Chinga, Nasty On), Jay Millette (The Black Halos, Darlings of Chelsea), Rich Jones (Michael Monroe, The Black Halos, The Dogs D'Amour, The Loyalties, The Yo-Yo's), Graham Tuson (The Spitfires) Marcel Lafleur (Arson, Smashed Gladys), and James Sullivan (More Kicks, Suspect Parts). C.C. Voltage has played with Spitfires, Black Halos, The Awesome Dudes, Autogramm, and many more.
As for the a-side, Voltage offers:
While I was living in Berlin my favorite beer company, Berliner Pilsner, had a song writing competition. I wrote the tune in full 80’s beer commercial style, thinking that it’d be a shoo-in with the judges. I’m not sure if it was the crappy demo I submitted, or the fact that they were looking for German lyrics, but I didn’t even get a response on my submission. Rich Jones and I revamped the song, made it rock a little harder and enlisted some pals to make it more interesting. We still love Berliner Pilsner beer, even if they don’t like the song.
