Volcanoes Hot New EP

• 20th Oct 2009

Highly acclaimed indie band Volcanoes release their ‘brilliant EP’ “Shaking That Brass,” as quoted from Sandman Magazine. The release showcases the multitude of ideas and enchanting song writing ability that Volcanoes possess and which has enabled them to garner huge media support in the past. Boasting an abundance of passion, catchy melodies and instantly infectious bass lines “Shaking That Brass,’ including lead tracks “Temple” and “What You Came For,” confirms that Volcanoes have their teeth clenched deep in to the UK Indie scene. An album release is planned for early 2010. Volcanoes are also featured as one of Edith Bowman’s ‘Bedroom Bands’.

‘“Face-slapping Glamfreakbeat” says NME…

We haven’t got a fooking clue what this means but we like it.”

Based in Leeds and Sheffield, the band consists of Samson (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Kevin (lead guitar and backing vocals), Boa (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Chris (drums and backing vocals) who pride themselves on their live shows, and since forming in Sheffield in 2005, they have supported numerous bands over the past four years including ‘Arctic Monkeys,’ ‘The Maccabees,’ ‘Hot Club de Paris,’ ‘The Big Pink’ and ‘Little Man Tate.’ The infectious charm they carry combined with their ‘overflow [of] energy and enthusiasm,’ has lead to the mass of support across the country from their ever increasing fan base.

“Volcanoes do actually offer something to stay awake for.”

Leeds Music Scene

On top of their simply heroic on-stage antics, the band are super productive and spend every other waking minute in the studio writing and recording, with a glorious catalogue of EPs just waiting to be discovered. Past releases include “Red Door” EP and “Friend of Mine” demo which was described by Sheffield Music Hub as ‘great music in the finest Indie, Brit-guitar tradition…Deserves to be all over MTV2 / Flux!”

“Volcanoes seem determined to chisel out songs in their own style, a style which rarely lets the audience settle into an apathetic indie number.”
