Volcanoes don't look like your average Indie band in fact they resemble some sort of MOR Metal band and have a Bass player called Boa Internationale (possibly one of the best things about Volcanoes - I like it) so it comes as somewhat of a surprise when you hear the sound Volcanoes distribute to the world. Vocalist Sam Bedford has that very recalling sound that makes you think of many of the most recent Indie chic including Maximo Park, Razorlight and Kings Of Leon and it's the vocal delivery and lyrical content that make this worth listening to.
Tracks such as 'Long Live My Enemies' and 'Gunter The Shooter' bounce along with flaying funk bass with 'Gunter..' also showing of a penchant for frenzied guitar, 'Lucy Lambado' also lends itself to that most 21st century of guitar sounds with also a doubled-up vocal that borrows heavily from The Coral.
There is little to Volcanoes that any avid listener will be able to distinguish as particularly new but I'm sure you'll pick up many references to bands that have influenced Volcanoes and their sound. But with Sam Bedford at the helm, Volcanoes do stand a chance of making some headway, he certainly has more talent than some of those that he seems to be getting a comparison with.
