These guys are f*%cking rock stars" said Tommy Brunett, CEO of Universal Buzz NYC. "Their CMJ Showcase in 2007 was the best set I saw all week!" That is high praise coming from a man who has worked with The Cult, Kid Rock and White Stripes . . . and it shows how far this band of young rock 'n' rollers have come since starting out in 2004 as High Voltage. The "High Voltage" era ended on a high note, as the band won a slew of awards in 2007. Despite the honours, the band, which has coalesced with JOSH ALVERNIA (vocals), SEAN ROYLE (guitars), JUSTIN BOSSO (bass guitar) and ERIC MARTIN (drums) are committed to moving forward as DEAN LICKYER. "We picked the name HIGH VOLTAGE when we were 14," explains BC Rich endorsed guitarist Sean Royle, "and it was cool for awhile, but now that we are out of school and doing music full time, we needed a name that was original that we could build our reputation on. We picked DEAN LICKYER as a tribute to a high school friend of my dad, whose spirit has inspired our style and love of old school rock." And the one thing these boys really love to do is rock... and that means rockin' HARD!
