Forming in 2005, Volcano!’s free-jazz /electronic music / experimental rock is a refreshing style of music. The band, who reing from Chicago, Illinois are now on their second album, Paperwork, which is their follow up to their 2005 well-acclaimed Beautiful Seizure (10/10 – Drowned In Sound).

Composed of Mark Cartwright (laptop, synths, bass, melodica, tuba), Sam Scranton (drums, percussion) and Aaron With (guitar, vocals), the band’s percussion and vocals do not follow that of a defined trend. I particularly enjoyed their song “Africa Just Wants To Have Fun”, which takes on a square synth bass about 4:30 into the song, accompanied with With’s flurry of vocals matching a breakdown of sorts. If party rock could be a genre, this would be their genre. Their unhibited, rowdy style of rock is unmatched to my ears this year.

If you enjoy this track, go to iTunes and listen to some more samples of Volcano!’s latest album, which hit stores this month. Check out their MySpace page for their tour dates beginning the 25th of this month in their hometown, Chicago.
