THIS WEEK IN MUSIC >>>

The Weekly Volcano is here to remind you that it all goes back to history. Everything. Everything goes back to history. There is nothing but history. These words are becoming history as you read them. Even you, some day, will be history. Perhaps you will be a blip; perhaps you will be a chapter. Perhaps your name will become a buzzword, like Reaganomics or Machiavellian. Perhaps. Perhaps you will ramble with no purpose. Perhaps you will wax poetic to the point of nausea, like us. Perhaps you will skip the gym today, shove extra food from the buffet into your purse when no one is looking and hit a live show tonight. Perhaps.

Here's a look at the sonic goodness coming at you in print and online in this week's Weekly Volcano ...

FEATURE: VILE RED FALCONS CD RELEASE PARTY

Fuzz-laden guitars spew out exclusively massive riffs; drums are huge, pummeling monsters; lyrics and vocals are melodic, yet unerringly filled with attitude. These are heavy pop songs, in essence, and they wouldn't sound out of place in a two-hour rock block on a '90s alternative station. On their new album, Under Your Skin, the Vile Red Falcons keep up a steady pace of simple, straightforward grunge that carves out a groove for itself, while simultaneously finding little moments that surprise. – Rev. Adam McKinney

HIP-HOP: YEAR OF THE CREW

Well, we've been waiting a whole year to say this, but Darxiide is back. Sic just released a solo LP, Epidemic. It's a follow up to his 2009 album, Pandemic. The album is available for free download at sicill.bandcamp.com. The album features fellow Darxiide MCs Shame, Nick Dominguez and 211, with other guest verses supplied by Moe Greenz, Ese Cricket, A.R. Mastermind, Doughkain, Leezy Soprano and even myself. — Josh Rizeberg

WE RECOMMEND: BIG EYES MONDAY AT TAHOMA TEA

How absurdly catchy is Big Eyes? Thanks for asking. VERY. The band is VERY catchy. Something about the driving guitars and the rough female vocals make Big Eyes something more than just a run of the mill, good garage rock act. – Rev. AM
