Volcano SunsThe Bright Orange Years [Reissue]
Merge Records [1985; re:2009]
Fire Drills Review:
Merge records brings back the classic debut from the Volcano Suns, which consisted of members from the disbanded Mission Of Burma. The record was never released on CD and has never sounded better from the remastering of Bob Weston (Shellac, Nirvana, Sebadoh). The Bright Orange Years is a solid rock punk album from beginning to end and contains a perfect balance of aggression and catchiness. Along with the great album the reissue adds nine extra tracks that include 7-inch only tracks, unreleased tracks and radio sessions.
