Doug Smith

If Shane is the high school Physics Club treasurer of VOLUMEN, Doug is the affable, popular guy who toes the fine line between band dork and senior class president. Cheerleaders leak the info that they want him to ask them out, but he�s always genuinely nice to the less popular girls and boys, too. In addition to writing most of what doesn�t get written by his longtime friend and musical partner, Shane (in the platonic sense, that is�at least we THINK so), Doug�s signature wikkid lyxx and fine tenor are the yin to Shane�s yang, the butter to Shane�s muffin, the hot dog in Shane�s....well, anyway, the other half of the songwriting equation. Additionally, Doug is a beacon of calm and tranquility in his other bandmates� roiling sea of adolescent squirreliness, and a fine cook to boot. The last male bonding I did with Doug was undertaken when we spent two days in the Montana wilderness picking morel mushrooms. Oh, the magic he worked with those little morsels...

Title: VOLUMEN Cries from space (CD)(Wantage USA)

Volumen are average people and yet they look very different...dressed in white and surrounded by old pc's and old hi-fi equipment, Volumen are bringing you a sort of rock that's completelely electronised. The electronic beeps that are swirling through their rockmusic make you think of both Devo (it must be the suits!) and Man Or Astro-Man! Anyway, they come a bit from everywhere (Wycoming, Akron and Minneaopolis) and their crazy electro-rockworld is one of the most original ones you can find... The needed dose of electronic and the acquired rockpatterns are making Volumen one of the most original bands you can come accross! Music for skateboardkids who are carrying a laptop under their arms...something different, but something good!!!
