Since their inception in 2007, Supervolcano has quickly become one of the driving forces behind a growing resurgence in Boston’s indie rock scene. Comprised of a melting pot of influences, the band incorporates sweeping melodies, harmonic tension, and off-meter time signatures while texturizing their unique soundscapes with guitar effects and breakneck rhythms. Counting Glassjaw, Fugazi, Faraquet, Incubus, and At the Drive-In/Mars Volta among their musical mentors, Supervolcano has been able to capture the essence of their icons while creating something wholly their own. Their eponymous debut LP fully demonstrates the raw energy and groovy vibes of their spellbinding live performances as well as showcases their burgeoning songwriting prowess. With pieces ranging from the anthemic to the ethereal, this profound, self-titled effort is a sonic testament to the depths of emotion, to the freedom of youth, and to true artistic expression. The album was produced and mixed by Faraquet/Medications frontman, and D.C. heavyweight, Devin Ocampo at Inner Ear Studios (Minor Threat, Fugazi, Q and not U) in Arlington, VA. For fans of aggressive and thought-provoking progressive indie/alternative, prepare yourself to count Supervolcano among the new crop of great, up-and-coming rock bands.
