Sounds Like:Volcanoes Reviewed
Sandman Magazine
"We all know that there's so much more to a band than just the songs, and like a big juicy Christmas Turkey, they've got all the trimmings."
"They look like a band, they've got a certain swagger about them and -best of all- their bass player is called Boa international."
"With 'Our Sound' they are making a definate statement."
Glasswerk Leeds
"Volcanoes seem determined to chisel out songs in their own style, a style which rarely lets the audience settle into an apathetic indie slumber."
Lincoln Bands
"The songs have a little bit of that sparkle that keeps you guessing, just when you think you've got them sussed they mix it up, not just from song to song but within a song without it sounding like they've lost the plot."
Sheffield Music Hub
"It can be quite easy for new bands to rely on one particularly strong song, but Volcanoes quite obviously don't need to. In Samson Bedford they have a dynamic and intense lead singer whose animated stage presence doesn't come across as arrogant or forced, but instead gives them a genuinely likeable persona."
"great music in the finest Indie Brit-guitar tradition, deserves to be all over MTV2/Flux"
"its obvious Volcanoes know how to craft a tune"
Leeds Music Scene
"The four piece have a stripped back indie blues sound...which has a pretty strong personality of its own"
Caught in the Crossfire
"Volcanoes are a less than conventional Indie band, attracting a diverse audience"
