Little Volcanoes are a pop/rock 4-piece from Manchester, comprising of Philip Quinn on vocals, Chris Fry on guitar, Mike Edmonds on bass and Elliot Barlow on drums.
Catchy! Quinn's mature voice soars perfectly across perky guitars and cool rhythms. Not the voluptuous, thickly layered sound of some bands, but these songs speak for themselves and have a more sophisticated sound than many. Punchy choruses and sailing harmonies aplenty. Foot-tapping optional, but unavoidable. Expect a great show live.
My current favourite is Stranger then Hollywood, which showcases drums and bass well, and has an ultra-cool, somewhat jazzy feel about it. Decide for yourself at http://myspace.com/littlevolcanoes.
What next?More by Little Vocanoes? More up and coming? More pop, or rock?
