Psykik Volts is a new wave/punk band formed in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire in 1978, influenced by the punk bands of the time like The Clash and Sex Pistols. John Peel played their self-financed first single on Radio 1, and it was subsequently repressed on the MHG label after the initial 1000 copies had sold. Despite releasing 1000 more copies, the band never made any revenue. After being signed to Graduate Records, the band recorded 4 songs, although they were never released.

Vocals Victor Vendetta and drummer Mick Reed were signed to Rock Rockburgh Records in 1980 and released two singles, renaming themselves 'Poptones' after the Public Image song. Victor Vendetta has had various pseudonyms since then, but his most recent project was re-recording old Psykik Volts (now Psychic Volts) songs, for "Psykik Volts - Re-volting". Read more on Last.fm.
