What other birds sing:
„I like this even better than Kurt's latest LP. Kurt is already one of the best
German bands, and still Ten Volt Shock manage to impress me even more.
Great label, great band, great layout, great everything.“
(http://www.photomag.org)
„Plug in, and get the FULL POWER! The 2nd full album by this Emo-Noise-Rock
trio from Freiburg/Germany, with 10 electroshock-blizzards to thrill your ears,
shake your bodies and rock your socks off.“
(Nova recordings, 18.08.2006)
„TEN VOLT SHOCK rocks !!!! Their s/t Lp will blow your head off, it will make
you go nuts and is more addictive than heroin!“
(www.greenhell.de)
„Franks (guitar, vocals) band Kurt was a heavy influence on me in my
formative years, and now Ten Volt Shock inspires me in much the same way.
For fans of: Kurt, filthy bass, push/pull guitars, king kong drumming, and
shredded vocal cords.“
(http://www.noidearecords.com)
„TEN VOLT SHOCK 78 HOURS LP (X-MIST, GERMAN IMPORT)
This Swabian band is one of those too-low-on-the-radar sorts who have got the
taughtness of Shellac, inertia of Tar, and gallop of Hot Snakes.. as well as a
dose of their own cultural baggage and tinkering to improve things. It's
propulsive, jaunty shit to say the least and it's getting a lot of rotation wedged
between Inappropriate Tough Guy and Hammerhead here in Missoula.
Honestly, a strong enough release to land near the top of my top 10 list for
2010. Noise rock from Germany.”

„…Heavy, big and ugly like a monster truck but moving with the ease and the
groove of a Velociraptor hunting a pair of unbelieving scientists”
