Volumes Also Be Doin' Shit Again

It seems that Volumes are feeling good with a brand new song and new label signing to their name now. 

'Feels Good' announces the band's return to the scene by signing to a new label and with a singer in tow. The band have ditched Mediaskare Records and joined up with the Fearless Records family, from which we can assume a new album will come from. Details to that yet are obviously unknown at this stage.

Back in 2015, Volume's original co-vocalist, Michael Barr, left the band due to "different musical direction and taste" and from the fact that Barr went on to make a whitewashed fuckboy version of The Weeknd and writes lines like this:

Lemme hit ya wit a drop pin

We gon party on Periscope

While erbody watchin'

My homies won't leave meeee aloneee

I like to think that him leaving was for the best and since he's been replaced by former Bury Your Dead singer, Myke Terry, who has some seriously killer pipes on him, I'd that say everything's worked out for the best.

'Feels Good' is definitely a Volumes song with its keen sense of uplifting chord progressions, yet totally sick palm muted chuggs and riffs throughout, bro. The song also features a very heavy element of clean singing and melody, which come from Terry, suggesting that it's a direction the band is heading further into. Or for all we know, 'Feels Good' could very well be the new album's 'Across the Bed', in that it's the melodic focal point and crowd warmer before they start dropping a series of much heavier, much grittier tracks. If the band were to stay truer to this sound and have an eve distrubition between the clean and unclean vocals, I would not be opposed at all, though.

If the band were to stay truer to this sound and have an even distribution between the clean and unclean vocals, I would not be opposed at all. 'Feels Good' is definitely a track that I'm taking to much more than I have with previous Volumes songs and that's because I'm total trash for catchy choruses and beautiful chord progressions.

Spoiler alert: the bass drop at 2:30 in the song is as weak as Kevin Rudd's election campaign in 2013 (you know you fucked up when the guy who looks and acts like a robot failing at being human-like wins over you).

Anyway, take a listen below:

Oh shit. Wrong one. Whoops. Here ya go.
