WALPURGIS VOLTA - s/t LP 1988

Brussels punx Walpurgis Volta released one 7Inch and two albums and were founded by Bob (vocals), Éric (guitars), Georges (bass) and Phil (drums) and this is their debut on La Rage. I remember very well the flea market where I bought this slab for little money, didn't know the band at all but the cover did my favor and so I took it with me. They packed twelve crazy friggel short songs on it and this investment has more than paid off. Not much is known about the band only after the end of Walpurgis some members start a new band called PPz30 in 1992 and their style is described as "freaka-rocka-funky-dirty" sound, formed of three former Voltas Eric, Phil and Georges with American actor and mime Bruce. PPz30 draws its influences in many genres such as funk, rock, hip-hop, reggae. The name of the group comes from the chemical formula of cement and this combo released four 7Inches + five albums. Sadly Éric dies in January 2012 and this event marks the end of PPz302. Okay, enough for today, I lie down and cure my migraine.
