Few interesting information about Hi-Tension except the fact that it is an English group formed in 1971 and originally composed of Paul Philipps, Lloyd Philipps, David Joseph and Ken Joseph. Group which begins by being called 'Hott Wax' before taking its final name from 1978.
Group that will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the high-caliber single "Rat race" which will be released in 1984.
For this reason alone, we had to devote this article to them.
To discover or rediscover.

1978...first title and first success directly. An ideal start, to say the least, thanks to a sound and a style that fit perfectly with the new musical trends of the moment...
1978...they immediately confirm all the good that we could think of them with a second success. Admittedly, we don't talk about a mega hit, but that's already what we say...
1978...this one will go a little more unnoticed but it is far from unworthy, that's clear. It was predictable that they were not going to win the timpani on each title...
1978...this one will not do better than its predecessor but the group proves with this title that it is good in all registers, from Dance to Intimist. Now it's done...
1979...after a beautiful and BIG year 1978, the year 1979 will seem a little pale. An average inspiration and a half-mast success send the group back into oblivion...
1979... too bad because it all started off really well. We could have imagined that the group had left to be among the best but unfortunately this will not really be the case...
1981... the transition to the 80s is not going to change much in the situation. The level of inspiration is too average to allow the group to come back even a little in the race...
1982...low inspiration, low productivity, all the lights are turning red. But what happens to them...?
1984 ... an adventure that will not go further than this year 1984. At least for the group because David Joseph, he will continue alone and record some great successes thereafter ...
