The Volcanos

The Volcanos first erupted in 1994. They 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 well-received 45s, LPs and CDs Chris Casello is a guitarist, performer, singer, producer a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
