"Weird? Very... but also downright inspiring" (****) - Rolling Stone
Jeffrey Lewis is an amazing musician, and if you dont know his songs you probably have a hole in your heart that can only be filled by his words I did! Regina Spektor
Jeffrey is the best pure songwriter I know of... 'Sad Screaming Old Man is one of my favorite songs ever written - David Berman (Silver Jews)
The mind-spinning indie-rock/folk/art of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage developed when songwriter and comic book artist Jeffrey Lewis began recording homemade cassettes in New York City in 1998; his critically acclaimed, unusual and word-dense songs lead to Jeffrey signing to Rough Trade Records in 2001 (record label of The Smiths, The Strokes, Belle & Sebastian, etc.), and the project evolved into a live touring cult sensation around the world. Creating a brilliant style of scuzzy urban indie-rock-folk, like a 21st Century mash-up of Sonic Youth, Pete Seeger and R. Crumb, Jeffreys band has played countless gigs all over the world, including playing as the opening act for icons like the Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Dr. Dog, Pulp, Roky Erickson, The Vaselines, and more.Their most recent official album is Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage: Bad Wiring released on Don Giovanni Records (USA) and Moshi Moshi Records (internationally) in November 2019 (garnering rave reviews), but Jeffrey has also digitally self-released three DIY albums from his apartment since the pandemic started. With or without bandmates Jeffrey continues to wring folksy spiel and garage bohemianism from his ramshackle guitar, while incorporating his often politically subversive visual artwork and cartoons into live appearances. Some of these audio/visual projects have been hosted by the History Channel website, such as The Story of Sitting Bull, a Jeffrey Lewis illustrated song which won a Webby Award in 2011 for Best Writing on the Internet. Jeffrey's The Story of Keith Haring was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in 2021.
As of 2023 the 4-piece line-up of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage includes Mallory Feuer on violin and keyboard, Isabel Martin on bass and Brent (Moldy Peaches) Cole on drums.
