Feel it! While it’s safe to say that’s what most college kids are looking for these days, it’s also one of many tracks on The Volunteers‘ new album, ‘Spectrophilia’, aimed to give you “something better than you’ve had, before”.
And with other stunning tracks like “Get on the Bomb”, “HoogaBooga”, and “So Deep for So Cheap”, The Volunteers throw a high-energy live performance that is not to be missed.
What’s more, in support of their Winter tour which starts January 12th at the Mid East Nightclub Upstairs in Cambridge, MA, The Volunteers are offering ‘Spectrophilia’ for free to anyone who asks for it, simply by emailing your request to free-volunteers@thewinkwinks.com. Free music.. great show.. rock and roll.
BIO:
The Volunteers are served straight up in the single malt blend that is New York City. A band led by songwriter/producer Dan Goddard, The Volunteers have toured North America, while gaining homegrown critical acclaim (The Onion, The Deli, New York Waste, Jersey Beat) along with a burgeoning fan base. With diverse production and musicianship contributions from the likes of Paul Mahajan (Yeah Yeah, Yeahs, TV on the Radio, The National), Stuart Bogie (Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra), and Clint Steele (The Swans), ‘Spectrophilia’ stands out as a unique record with a cavalier sound. You can’t go wrong with that.
“An explosion of punk rock noise and lead singer/guitarist Dan Goddard’s evil, menacing (think Iggy Pop) snarl.” – Jerseybeat.com
“The Volunteers’ self-released, self-titled album serves up sleazy, indisputably wrong scuzz-rock” – The Onion
