 They had opened for bands such as The Jam, The Saints, Generation X and The Motors.Paul Weller of The Jam became a big fan of the band, and the two bands often collabarated, with The Jolt opening for The Jam, and Weller even wrote a single for The Jolt, "See Saw", released in June 1979 on the EP "Maybe Tonight".However, The Jolt were seen as poor copy of The Jam, always in their shadow, and the band split soon afterwards.
