“»Habit« sounds like a lost MC5 track. The track is packed with the same energy and delivery that Monster Magnet has been struggling to regain since signing over to a major label.” – Bully Magazine
“»Habit« is more Wayne Kramer than Wayne Kramer these days – catchy, fuzz-drenched, and all feel-good.” – Hellride Music
“»Habit« is exactly what the world needs now, complete with directionless solos floating above the chaos as Brink patiently delivers the chorus, “Gimme gimme gimme what I want/Gimme gimme gimme what I need.” This is self-indulgent, uncompromising rock and roll, fully capturing and exploiting the moment, and it is magnificent.” – PunkNews.org
Formed in 1993, Volume are back following a hiatus to finish what they started and celebrate a career milestone. The 20th Anniversary edition vinyl pressing of »Requesting Permission To Land« will be released on October 27th.

From the riff-fueled percussive-frenzy sound of the EP’s opener »Habit« to the rhythmic and progressive conclusion »Headswim«, »Requesting Permission To Land« is a thrilling collection of heavy acid rock tracks. The EP features a number of talented musicians with drums recorded by Scott Reeder (Fu Manchu), and bass played by James Scoggins (Final Conflict). If you like straight up fuzzed out psychedelic rock, sit back and let Volume spin your head!
About Volume:
Patrick Brink began Volume back in 1993 with the desire to have a project with which he could take the lead and steer the musical reins down psychedelic rocking routes. Having performed with a number of acts including doing vocals for Fu Manchu in their early days, Volume offered Patrick a new creative outlet. Over their career the band has shared stages with Queens Of The Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Mastadon and Goatsnake, and performed at festivals including Emmisions of the Monolith and Stoner Hands of Doom (SHoD). Volume draw musical influences from bands such as The Stooges, MC5 and Black Flag to name a few, while also crafting their own distinctive heavy psychedelic identity.
»Requesting Permission To Land« will be released via Weird Beard (UK) We Here & Now (CA) Echodelick (US) Worst Bassist (EU) Ramble Records (AU).
