The Family Rain release their debut album today ‘Under The Volcano’ through Vertigo / Virgin EMI Records.
Recorded over four weeks at Berlin's famed Hansa Studios, it’s ten tracks of primal, blues-powered rock 'n' roll. Nagging melodies combine with heavy, metallic riffs to produce a searing rock record of intelligence and wit. From storming singles such as 'Feel Better (Frank)', to the crunching 'Reason To Die', and high octane belter 'Pushing It', the album busts with ferocious intensity and insidious melodies.
NME have described The Family Rain as “exhilarating to the end”, and The Sunday Times Culture rated them “Absolutely bloody brilliant”, whilst Zane Lowe has commented, “The future is The Family Rain”.
Both Q and Loaded give a 4 star review of band’s debut, with Loaded commenting that “’Under The Volcano’ demonstrates why this lot will be hard to ignore this year.”
