VOLCANO, THE BEAR







"did you ever feel like jesus? king of the world."

knowing how to measure out the melody and the fear just right isn't something that i come across often, but our friend volcano has it for sure. it has a sweet way about it before it rears it's two thousand bladed fists. snake in your bed? demon in the belly of the beautiful mountain? even on the nice songs, with a bit of noises here and there, you still feel like it's all going to come apart in a few moments and the tension is awesome. i think it has four members: Clarence Manuelo, Aaron Moore, Nick Mott, Daniel Padden. it is from "united kingdom".
