Highly acclaimed indie band Volcanoes release their EP “Sugar and Snarls” April 26^th on Indecan. It follows the release of the band’s EP “Shaking That Brass”, which was released in October last year. “Sugar and Snarls” showcases the multitude of ideas and enchanting song writing ability that Volcanoes possess, which has enabled them to garner huge media support in the past. Boasting an abundance of passion, catchy melodies and instantly infectious bass lines the new release confirms that Volcanoes have their teeth clenched deep in to the UK Indie scene.

“Shaking That Brass” saw Volcanoes secure a wealth of national and regional radio support, including airplay on XFM (John Kennedy) and NME Radio’s Best of MySpace podcast with Gill Mills. The band were invited to feature in session on BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Raw Talent Introducing (broadcast on BBC Leeds and BBC Hull) and BFBS Radio.

Volcanoes were also featured in 2009 as one of Edith Bowman’s ‘Bedroom Bands’ on www.edithbowman.com

Based in Leeds and Sheffield, the band consists of Samson (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Kevin (lead guitar and backing vocals), Boa (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Chris (drums and backing vocals) who pride themselves on their live shows, and since forming in Sheffield in 2005, they have supported numerous bands over the past four years including ‘Arctic Monkeys,’ ‘The Maccabees,’ ‘Hot Club de Paris,’ ‘The Big Pink’ and ‘Little Man Tate.’ The infectious charm they carry combined with their overflow of energy and enthusiasm has led to the mass of support across the country from their ever increasing fan base.

On top of their simply heroic on-stage antics, the band are super productive and spend every other waking minute in the studio writing and recording, with a glorious catalogue of EPs just waiting to be discovered. Past releases include “Red Door” EP and “Friend of Mine” demo which was described by Sheffield Music Hub as ‘great music in the finest Indie, Brit-guitar tradition…Deserves to be all over MTV2 / Flux!”
