Bob Marshall

Watch Bob, and watch him close. See if you can catch him slippin�. You never will, because this plunging draft horse of the VOLUMEN skins never does. Every beat, fill, ride...every damn flam-flam or paradiddle he plays fits as tight and snug as in those walls at Macchu Picchu where you can�t even slip a piece of paper between these stones as big as a Volkswagen Beetle. It�s a craft he�s honed in nearly half a dozen other Missoula bands, including Prosciutto, Saved for This Dark Dawn and the much-missed Spanker. The tireless BobJob is still foaming to rock long after his bandmates have packed it in for the evening, and, like Doug, he�s also an excellent cook. Keep him away from the chilies, though�last time Bob came to my house, he whipped up some 2:30 AM quesadillas that cleared the place out like a canister of CS gas.

Title: Science Faction Review
Author: Foxy

Volumen - Science Faction (W�ntage USA Records, 2006)
In the outback of Montana's mountains with it's vast geography and low population density two childhood friends - both growing up a bike ride away from hundreds of underground nuclear warheads - formed their band Volumen. Their base is experimental rock with traces of new-wave, art rock and some kind of indie, all made with a lot of creativity. The ideas are interesting and the music is intelligent. Both lyrics and compositions manage to challenge the listener on several levels. Glockenspiels blends with noisy, reverse guitar feedback and steady machine-like drums, space echo vocals, samples of war-related newsreels and computer-generated effect etc. This is music with a lot of integrity and a very personal touch, the guys have a story to tell and even though the experiments do not always succeed Volumen has my full respect.

If you dig: The Sugarplasic with more raw power�
