VolteraIn an industry dominated by men, the cliché is abandoned with instigator Jess assembling Voltera's diverse talent into a defiant armada against indulgence. A graduate from the vocally unconventional, Jess' vocal range is unique being compared to that of PJ Harvey, Max Cavalerra and Siouxsie Sioux. How do we classify something that constantly changes form? With the only formula being 'purpose', Voltera compose emotion. Each track is unique, forged by the twinge of despair for human existence. Immersed in the underground, Voltera is an avant-garde, emotive and distinct manipulator of the darker genres with rampant female vocal ranging from dark and melodic to a guttural bawl, delivering a uniquely powerful and captivating live performance. With aggressive political intention, Voltera focus much of their artistic energy towards overpopulation, the environment and organized religion. This is evident both lyrically and within the social activities of the band members. Recently Voltera ventured to the USA to play the West Coast leg of the 2006 Vans Warped Tour, followed by shows in Phoenix and Portland. In addition, Voltera have been the support for international acts such as KMFDM, Genitorturers and Covenant, as well as headlining many of their own successful shows all over Australia. Voltera's "It beats for you" is a featured track on the recently released Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. Voltera also have the track "Do What Your Daddy Say" on the Tony Hawk's Project 8 console game.www.voltera.net |
