Volume IV – Long in the Tooth

March 21st, 2014 by BMF

I received my copy of the new Volume IV album Long in the Tooth release on limited vinyl, CD and download card the other day. I used the Gene Simmons test for how good it will sound on my awesome home stereo system by first listening on my crappy car radio. Not only did it sound great in the car, I hurried home to slap the CD into the home system and turned it up to 11.

This is great Rock and Roll. The type of music that you can feel in your gut coming through your speakers at both a high volume and low volume. I could go on and on about how you can hear different influences, blah blah blah but the bottom line is the music these guys have created will rock your ass off.

This may be silly to some but what makes this whole new music experience even better for me personally, is the label sent a personalized note with the package (I love when record people do that) and there is the fact that a really long time great friend of mine is in this band. Mr. Blake Parris on thundering bass I don’t know the other guys in band but hope to soon. Blake you have hit it out of the park with this one man. I am proud as hell to know you and am happy as hell you have put this great slab of Rock into my hands. Another great detail often missed by bands putting out music is they actually got all the CD info on the CD so unless you are using a CD player from the 80?s, you can see the track names and all. These are details that are important to me. Great package of music Volume IV.

Be sure to check out the photos of the band playing live in Marietta exactly one year ago.

4/15/18 ~update by mc~ This has been a missing BMF post. I found it in the web archives saved on just one date and then it vanished. But I’m glad it’s found cause it’s our pal Blake’s band(one of his bands). Jeff loved this band and dedicated a section to them on MusicFilter. Only thing I’ll add is the music from the album. It looks like they have sold out of the album. We have one or two…not sure. Thanks to Blake and Volume IV for making this hardcore music. Wow I’m listening now. It’s great. Very Sheavy. 🙂

sHEAVY is the SHIT. I somehow came across this incredible advance of REPUBLIC?, the upcoming release of the band that if Ozzys wife had any balls would have headlining every Ozzfest from here on out bmfgroupie shared sHEAVY with me 2 or 3 years ago and from the first time we listened to them we loved them. Forget the generalization of Stoner Rock these guys re-define it. I can’t help but begin this rant without praising the incredible sound that Steve Hennesy emits from the mic. What we have here is an equivalent of Ozzy that can actually sing and change tones with ease that is not to any way diss the ozzy I’ve seen him lots and he can fucking sing the ozzy way. ozzy is in a category by himself..nobody will ever sound lke ozzy but..Steve Hennesy has a different TONE..i don’t know shit about playing instruments or writing music but to me.he has a different tone..all the while Steve is belting out grab-at-yer-gut sounds the band is chugging right along with him at train track feeling The whole time I’ve been typing this dribble..the first 3 songs have played all of which inspired all this dribble. The fourth song, Moments is THE PERFECT HALLOWEEN PARTY Song full of strong mixed drinks, heavy tokes and an ending that will make you literally move your body slowly towards the speakers eagerly anticipating the next note played. Song 5 is driving hard fuckin. Song six,”phone booth” is eeeeeerrriieee..dont mix that out of the final guysgreat little thingy there.song 7, œspyheeeeeeaaaaaavyyyyyyyyy perfect head song bmfgroupie said she could suck all the way through but I think she needs to listen to it more..but even for the first listen she sucked it mighty good Stingray 16follows with more of the same..not the same same but the distinct sound that follows these guys these guys pull this music from within somewhere.its too fucking trippy to not come from somewhere elseThe MAN ends this amazing CD.original strange guitar/bass sounds come through and grab you then the heavy fucking guitar/bass beat comes through and drives the song through the structure very cool .every song Steve and the band have a gem on their hands get this CD!!!..go see sHEAVY online
