About Me:
The Bolts are from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Only in the pop music suburban melting pot of Southern California could this be possible. The Bolts are the direct musical descendants of a long list of great bands such as The Eagles, Van Halen, and No Doubt, which were spawned along the Interstate 5 Freeway from the San Fernando Valley to the OC--and they have learned their lessons very well. "The OC has a scene for almost every musical genre and we have fans from every one of them," explains guitarist/vocalist Heath Farmer. "I think rock music fans have been waiting for something new that doesn't require that they conform to a scene's standards; something organic and unrefined that says you can enjoy it whether you have a moptop or a mohawk. We are for them."
The Bolts showcase their stadium ready talents with nonchalance and confidence as if it were all by birthright. Well that's pretty much true for siblings, Addam, Heath and Austin Farmer, who along with fellow Bolts, Matt Champagne and Ryan Kilpatrick create a unique pop rock sound that pulsates with muscular musicianship, brilliant 4-part vocal harmonies, and multiple lead vocalists. The Bolts Manager/Producer Guy Eckstine states, "I saw an urgency and rawness to their live performances that I wanted to capture on record, and I felt I needed to rough it up a bit in the studio to reflect that attitude. The results are impressive."
The Bolts first experienced local success when the band landed five demo songs on the local rock radio station, KROQ, after being together less than four months. Soon after, the band started winning their local battle of the bands' and other competitions, eventually leading them to earn the title of Orange County's 'Best Pop Artist' from the OC Music Awards.
In just a short period of time The Bolts have developed an army of devoted fans who mobilize at a moment's notice for their energetic performances from San Diego to Los Angeles, turning up in frenzied droves at their current residencies at The Roxy and Disneyland's Tomorrowland Terrace. With their first official full length release, "Meet the Bolts," the time is now to take on the world on their terms-- they won't be "just another band from LA" for very long.
