POWERSOLO is POWERSOLO

POWERSOLO is working on a sequel to "JAMBALAYA – EXTRA SPICY" which came out on Copenhagen label Crunchy Frog in 2023. It will be exciting because a surprise awaits and yes, a whole new twist. We are going to reveal a spooky plan that has been laid out over the past thirteen months. Nuff said, just wait and see... POWERSOLO band members also known from;

Kim Kix (Heavy Trash), Mike Sullivan (The Hall Monitors), Charlie Shapiro (Nive & The Deer Children). POWERSOLO was formed in 1996 in Aarhus by vocalist/guitarist Kim "Kix" Jeppesen, has released ten studio albums, a film score and a myriad of singles and videos throughout the band's almost thirty years of existence.

POWERSOLO is an active group that records and tours internationally and extensively in Europe and the United States, South America and even Tunisia and South Africa, as well as appearing on several soundtracks for TV commercials for French SNCF and Renault Clio cars but also in films and TV series, including the Danish/Canadian crime drama Himmerland and the American TV block buster series True Blood and American Horror Story and in 2024 POWERSOLO's international hit song Boom Babba Do Badabba got placed in Guinness Beer and the Premier League commercial and campaign (!) BOOM!!!

POWERSOLO who also recorded and toured as backing band for Jon Spencer (Heavy Trash / Blues Explosion) and Andre "Mr Rhythm" Williams (Bacon Fat, Mustang Sally) and who describes their sound as "Donkey Punk", is characterized by an often hectic and fast-paced mix of garage, punk, psychobilly, surf and world music. This pathos leans heavily on a psychedelic blues-based rock sound, which is often recorded with what one might call utilitarian, obscure or often primitive instruments and technology. This gives their recordings a very authentic-sounding vintage aesthetic.

I've spun — physically and digitally — the A-side's "Backstab" (Transfixing Motherfucker by POWERSOLO) well over 200 times in 2022. Describing its brilliance would cost me too many words, so I'll just say that every time a Quentin Tarantino movie is made without this song soundtracking a fight scene, god kills a kitten.

“Massive and mobile, revved-up and smirking wired manic relentlessness with polished precision musicianship and plenty of gratuitous sonic elegance and refinement within their genre-shifting role playing. But no matter what they try these guys can really make it come to life (..) So good it’s ridiculous!” Dream Magazine

”PowerSolo's opening set showed why Spencer would seek them out for support. Both its R&B/soul-punk and its two guitars and drums lineup are a nod to Spencer's Blues Explosion and their shared affection for hill-country blues. But frontman Kim 'Kix' Jeppesen has a much goofier stage presence than Spencer, opting for the facial tics, clucks and barks of a trailer trash psychobilly rather than the cool, swagger of Sun Records stars. Jeppesen engaged the crowd, often bringing his goofiness down from the stage.“ NBC4.com

“People were just losing their shit all around me, it was infectious. The charismatic frontman (Kim Kix) was totally playing to the crowd, giving a lot of shoutouts to "the ladies" and doing mini-windmills on his guitar. (..) At any rate, they are seriously talented musicians and the crowd was really having a great time at this show.” ThreeImaginaryGirls.com “Powersolo mixes punk, rockabilly and psychedelia into a stew of pure fun. (..) Crank this one up and take a road trip through the silly cities of your imagination.” Blog Critics Magazine

“Tunes about truckin,’ fuckin’, and NASCAR, mopey C&W, amphetamine-laced rockabilly, and a jewel-case picture of the band hanging off a tractor in the middle of a farm field. Where else could Powersolo call home than Aarhus, Denmark?” Illinois Entertainer
