Bio

Throughout the sticky and sweltering summer of 2001, Bolt began crafting its unique brand of instrumental rock with the self release of a four song EP entitled, 7Kr01.  Recorded after only two months as a group, the band pressed 150 copies and used the recordings as promotional discs to snag regional gigs.

As interest in the break neck yet precise compositions grew, Bolt recorded its first full length effort, Circadian Rhythm, and independently released the record in March of 2003.

Captivating and unique, Bolt’s noticeably darker sophomore release and 10T Records debut, Movement and Detail, released in 2006, has a personality that is indeed hard to pin down.  There’s a self-effacing thread that runs throughout the entire album, just beneath the cool technical precision.  The band shifts from eerie atmospherics to hints of jazz but also sashays from metal riffing to ravish and danceable texturing.
