As I get ready for The KahBang Festival 2012, which will be taking place August 9th – August 11thin Bangor, ME, I came across Volcano Rabbit, who are one of the many burgeoning New England bands to appear at the fest. The group itself may be young, but individually the members have been cutting their teeth for some time now. They are a collective that play with meditative harmonies placed deep in thickets of distorted guitar and percussion. The songs include atmospheric tremolo and spacey noodling, but there are still pointed and catchy melodies within. They kind of remind us of guitarmy Fang Island, who brought vocals into the mix on their new album. This band only has a couple promising demos out, which makes their future that much more exciting. – Adam G.
