The Volcanos

The Volcanos are an instrumental Surf Rock/Hot Rod band from Detroit, Michigan. Current Members include Rick Mills(Guitar), Chris Flanagan(Guitar), Bill Bowen(Drums), Mark Brainerd(Bass). Started in 1994, the Volcanos set out to create a high-energy reinterpretation of classic '60s surf music. After cooking up a few originals, the band put out two 45s on their Neurotic Bop label. The records were greeted favorably by the then-swelling, post-Pulp-Fiction surf music scene. The boys then hooked up with Estrus Records for a series of 45s, LPs and CDs. At live shows the band mixes their original instros with surf and garage vocal tunes. They've played Garage Shock 97, Surfari USA and the Las Vegas Rockaround, as well as being regulars on the Detroit scene.

The Volcanos are one of many bands that consist of most of the members, other others being a Horror Rock Trio known as the 3D-Invisibles, and a 60's Style beat band called The Meltdowns.
