HIGH OCTANE BOYS are currently the top 60's garage rock band in Norway. The group, consisting of veterans from the Norwegian surf/garage scene, started off playing a rawer kind of instrumental rock that gradually turned into a wild mix of fuzz and farfisa with fantastic vocals.

When looking at their brand-new 45 'The Change I Need', covered in a stylish 60s-styeartwork displaying their current line-up in outlines, it immediately becomes obvious what their music is all about and where the boys draw their inspiration from - namely all these fantastic 60s Garagepunk-pioneers such as THE MUSIC MACHINE, but also organ-driven fuzzy garage-revival-bands from the 80s till now. 'The Change I Need' will absolutely take you away - what a mighty sound with a heavy fuzzguitar, wild farfisa, a strong beat and vocals! This is downright fantastic songwriting reminding one of the likes of THE SATELLITERS.

But don't be scared, the B-side 'Down On Boring Street' does not at all take you to musical Boring Street, but it does just the opposite! It is a catchy Garage-dancer with a fine beat that you'll find yourself playing repeatedly. 'The Change I Need' by HIGH OCTANE BOYS - a highly exciting must-have 7' for any lover of garagepunk-music!
