Rock music with a bit of a roll.. yes, The Volunteers are served straight up in the single malt blend that is New York City. A trio band led by songwriter Dan Goddard, The Volunteers have toured North America, while gaining homegrown critical acclaim (High Times, The Onion, The Deli, New York Waste, Jersey Beat) along with a burgeoning fan base.
Their recent album "Spectrophilia", released September of 2008, was recorded at Monsterland Studio in Brooklyn with Producer/Engineer Paul Mahajan (Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Tv on the Radio, The National) and featuring contributions from Stuart Bogie (Antibalas) and Clint Steele (The Swans).
The Volunteers live show is one of the best you'll find for an unsigned band in NYC. Blending articulate musicianship with wild energy, great songs and powerful delivery, fans who come to their shows always have a blast.
