Chris Bacon

First of all, let me just tell you that his middle initial is, in fact, P. That makes him Chris P. Bacon. Just go ahead and relish that for a minute. Done yet? Okay, I�ll wait. How about now? Real good, then: Chris is the clown prince of VOLUMEN, the band�s court jester, its theatrical fall guy. And also its most recent addition, although you�d never know it to hear the way his wicked cool keyboard lines blend seamlessly with VOLUMEN�s fully-realized, graduate level guitar pop sound. Chris is also the ace up the VOLUMEN lead vocal sleeve, the catalyst by which an already, um, uh, high-octane show can suddenly take that quantum leap into fourth-dimensional coitus between audience and band with a perfectly-timed cover of the KINKS� "Superman" or his own ladies�-choice-slow-skate showstopper, "Super Confident Guy." And front-side ollies? Yeah, he�s got those.

Title: Science Faction Review
Author: Jim Merrett

Volumen - Science Faction
By Jim Merrett
Fermented in remote Montana, think of this as a cheeky, potent moonshine. An aromatic nose of Violent Femmes with grisly, full-bodied Kyuss riffage and The Cramps-style trashing about the kick that hit the back of your throat. Halfway point �The Launch� even toys with OK Computer-era Radiohead. Beneath the creepy hick exterior a certain sophistication bubbles. These guys know their influences and while they toil in a relative backwater, the rest of the world has turned back on itself, digging up revival after revival, bringing them back to speed. And so redneck new-wave doesn�t sound that unlikely. The excitement mounts to the point you can feel the band playing through wide grins. Crank it up and enjoy.
