"Face-slapping Glamfreakbeat"
.......We haven't got a fooking clue what this means but we like it.
Sandman Magazine April 08 / live review
"Headliners Volcanoes overflow with energy and enthusiasm. Their passion for performance and their belief in their music are total. Funky bass lines and upbeat rifts provide a great bedrock onto which a beefy rhythm section builds infectious feeder size choruses, while Samson Bedfords vocals at times recall both Maximo Park's Paul Smith and Kings of Leons Caleb Followill. Volcanoes catchy fast-paced guitar pop will continue to court fans and their live shows will always be worth catching." Kind words by K.Fildes
No-TiTLE Magazine Leeds May 08 - Random Demo
"Volcanoes smash straight out of the speakers with 'Gunther the Shooter', a very upbeat and punchy number with great sounding, cutting guitars and vocals. It's a short and snappy indie-pop tune and at two and a half minutes that's just perfect. Straight into the next song 'King of the Hill' another upbeat indie opus to tap your converse to accordingly. The breakdown near the end is nice and it breaks up the rhythm before you get shot back into the end. Track three, 'Snake Pass' is a slower song, it feels distant somehow, maybe it's the sound of the guitars. I also feel like there's a nod here in the direction of The Verve at they're hypnotic best. Last song 'Room with the Red Door' is especially good vocally, I'm hearing echoes of Pete Doherty in it's delivery, it's a rocking little number and a fitting close to a cracking CD. I've never seen them live before but I'd like to as I feel there'll be a tad more fire in the songs. That said, wonderful stuff."

Late in 2005 four young men of high ambition formed a band called Volcanoes. Emerging from acoustic roots the band soon diverged into rock, blues and indie; developing a style that is highly individual and dynamic. The four lads have never taken things too seriously and their ethos has remained simple; to have fun and to write great songs. The band are now entering their third year together full of ideas and aiming high. New tunes are flying out of their practice sessions and they are all over the UK gigging and going down a storm. Volcanoes have remained slick, upbeat and focused, sure that they are destined for better things.
Volcanoes draw influences from many bands both old and new. They adore their music and try to write tunes that will stand the test of time. Their style is constantly evolving, not knowing what’s gonna come next with them has made them so unique. Often they produce pumped up indie tunes but occasionally they are dark and moody allowing their lyrics to shine > they are always irresistible. Volcanoes have so much flare and energy that it’s hard to not be taken in by them.
Playing live has always been a forte of the band, with the irresistible swagger of frontman Samson Bedford the band are explosive on stage. They have charisma by the ton, this is a band that can’t wait to get the crowd going - it’s what they live for and they love it.
Raise your fists, shake your hips and get rude.

Excellent gig last night lads, you's boys blew the roof off! Samson needs a bit more work on his arm wrestling technique, but all in all a great night. Your welcome back anytime!!Ciao x.
Oi! Na then! Iv been voting like a mad woman so do us a fave and get registered on www. bangingdrum. com! Hopefully we will have our old interview up there soon! Mr Bedford you said you would! So do it! :D Ta xxx
Tried again, but can't get the photos to send the way I did before. I've posted them in an album on my profile - can you go there and take them ? (least I got all of you this time) and Sam, did you get out of driving Ash home after the Camden gig?? ;-)
Stop fishing for compliments! It was great (the rest of the bands were shite - actually I don't know if thats true cos we drank in the bar the rest of the night and didn't see any of them!) I've tried sending you the photos, but either it didn't work or you got them 47 times. I'll try again (be afraid) See you soon x
