Description
TURN UP THE ROCK The Volumes Just Wanna Help
"These days, when the word rock is thrown around more as an ironic statement than a musical style, being in a rock 'n' roll band can be trying. To really grab the attention of a jaded audience, you have to be doing something pretty extraordinary (like be from Sweden or get produced by Jack White). Luckily for The Volumes, they not only play rock, they believe in it. Their music itself conjures images of gritty juke joints on rural highways: visceral, primitive and damaging. Vocalist Morgan Schick bellows and howls like a man possessed by Mike Carroll (not dead) and the ghost of Otis Redding (way dead). Bassist Andy Kauffman and drummer Aaron MacDonald provide the type of no-frills, all-balls foundation that makes your gut wrench."

"The Volumes' soul-punk hybrid is certainly a weighty mass of energetic garage rock, but it doesn't suffer fool's gold by aping the currently popular distortion-ravaged rock of the Hives, White Stripes, et al. Instead, the Volumes play it cool with neo-Estrus style rhythm 'n' surf that only needs to kick when it wants to attain critical density."

"The Volumes hit listeners with a hard fusion of punk-soul that makes you want to dance on the inside and out. Frontman Morgan Schick plays up his impending stardom perfectly with screams and inspired head bobs, while moppet-haired guitarist Matt Parenteau almost scares you into thinking he may collapse in a fit of ecstasy because he loves playing music so much. When I saw them live they did a smokin' Raspberry Beret cover, earning them mucho points in my book."

"The Volumes purvey Television-y, guitar-melody-centric, punky art-rock, but singer Morgan Schick plays a more evocative Verlaine--and not at all whiny, which is good for us."

"..if you'd consider attending such spectacle, then you can probably stand some loud rock 'n' roll. But be serious about it, because the Volumes are. And if you're unprepared, you might get blown out the back window of the establishment by the gale storm of their punky, soulful, and commanding enthusiasm."
