Punk Legends FEAR Lead A Pack Of International Hellions Putting A Shocking New Spin On Beloved Tracks By AC/DC!

What happens when you take some of the best punk rock bands of the last 30 years and turn them loose on some of the greatest hard rock songs by venerated Aussies AC/DC? Sparks fly, juices flow, and heads explode! High Voltage Punk is a collection of brand new recordings from a murderer’s row of punk veterans and icons from England, Scotland, and The U.S. Hear songs such as “Hell’s Bells,” “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock N’ Roll),” “You Shook Me All Night Long” and more cranked up to 11 and injected with a heavy jolt of punk rock energy!

Kicking things off is L.A. punk legends FEAR, who take us all the way back to 1976, one year before FEAR’s founding, with a vicious take on massive hit “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” Still led by charismatic frontman Lee Ving, FEAR remain true to their hardcore punk roots while adding touches of metal on the cover version, and showcasing Ving’s distinctive snarling vocals for one of the most ferocious and electrifying performances of this band’s very long career!
