British Columbian band Voltage’s 2022 demo, The War to End All Wars, led with a Dis-charged uppercut, and followed that up with a hefty Motörcrust wallop. Voltage’s new EP, Claustrophobia, is heavier and burlier (both welcome additions), while musically, Claustrophobia follows a similar brute-force punk ‘n’ roll path. The five songs here have rock-solid hooks, and they hit hard, too; “Claustrophobia” batters, “Sanctuary” pummels, and “Can’t Stay Clean” clobbers, etc. Voltage’s songs land with savage impact, and while Claustrophobia is a bruising encounter, its short, sharp tracks are made for repeat listening: a knockout release all round.
