THE VOLUME KNOCKERS

About Me

High school friends Dmitry "Vitamin D" Owens and Neal "The Deal" Mashburn have been churning out their unique,high-energy brand of Freaky Styley,Psychosexy Funked-up Metallic Grooves since 1994,so it's about damn time for a label to sign us instead of all that lame,weak,whiny pop and emo shit that's all over the radio and empty-V these days ! Can we get a hallelujah for REAL Rock with heart,soul,attitude,and balls,brothers and sisters?____________________________________________________ __________Combining the grinding riffs,ripping guitar solos,and Metallic overkill of Classic Metal bands such as Judas Priest,Black Sabbath,Motorhead,Iron Maiden,and early Metallica ,the powerhouse, guitar- driven bluesy swagger of legendary 70's Hard Rock Gods such as Led Zeppelin,AC/DC,KISS,Thin Lizzy and Ted Nugent,the bass-heavy grind of Soundgarden,Danzig,and Alice In Chains with the high-energy Sex-Funk grooves of early Chili Peppers, Infectious Grooves,and Rage Against The Machine and the in-your-face,take-no-shit attitude and raw aggression of early Hardcore Punk such as Black Flag ,D.R.I.,C.O.C,Rollins Band,and Suicidal Tendencies, The Volume Knockers were formed in early 2006 with the intention of bringing REAL ROCK to the modern musical wasteland populated with overly commercialized, soulless,spineless,ball-less emo/screamo ,pop-punk,and safe,tame,formulaic rich-kid yuppie rock bands.Shattering conformity,convention,repression,and social restrictions with Pure Unadulterated Rock Fury,The Volume Knockers transcend any shallow,fly-by-night trends and Johnny-come-lately ,flavor -of -the- weak bandwagons to create a raw ,powerful ,intense,aggressive ,unrestrained sound all their own.Sick of bands that all sound the same and are sorely lacking heart,soul,integrity,and passion ? Longing for the days when Rock N' Roll had that element of danger,unpredictability,and edginess? Then come out and watch The Volume Knockers kick out the jams-satisfaction guaran-fucking-teed!Oh,by the way-we're the world's greatest two-piece Punk -Funk- Metal band,and that's undisputed,baby!Bio written by Dmitry Owens -7/06
