The two core members of Pekka Volt, Tom Volt (Vocals, Bass) and Kim Volt (guitar, production) – have been playing together for 10 years. As youngsters they were only 13 years old when they formed the punk-band FISHBRAIN, who often shared the stage with Norwegian heavyweights MOTORPSYCHO, playing both original material and Sex Pistols covers. This upbringing helped form the backbone of what has become today’s complex and very addictive psycopop that is Pekka Volt.

The rest of the band consists of Andreas Stunes on drums, Bent Borgund on guitar and Snorre Valen on keyboards. Tom writes the riffs and Kim dreams up arrangements, the songs literally take form in his REM states of deep sleep, which has always been their method of writing material. Kim even came up with the band’s name from a dream he once had (or was it a nightmare). Even Lennon and McCartney on LSD couldn’t match this style.
