"Spectrophilia raises the bar for classic rock in the new millennium; now the band just has to get somebody to notice." - Jim Testa -
JerseyBeat.com
"Lyrical and visual detail continue The Volunteers' occupation of some liminal space between sophomoric satire and talented homage." - Jon -
MyCrazyMusicBlog.com
"Sincere moments are sparsely strewn between gravelly expressions of booze adulation. The Volunteers occupy an interesting space between idealized maturity and recklessness. They are a worthwhile slice of New York Americana." - FrederickFoxtrott.com
"The Volunteers' self-released, self-titled album serves up sleazy, indisputably wrong scuzz-rock along the lines of the album-opener "Whore”, which demands to know, "Whatever happened to sex and drugs? / I don't give a fuck about rock 'n' roll." The band's sensitive side comes out in "Homos," a mini-essay on evolution and political correctness, while "Blanket Of Drugs" is softly, sweetly pro-narcotic." - Noel Murray - The Onion
Rock music with a bit of a roll.. yes, the Volunteers are served straight up in the single malt blend that is New York City. A quartet band led by songwriter Dan Goddard, joined by guitarist John Cave, bassist Dave Smith, drummer Paul Cigolini, the Volunteers have toured North America, while gaining homegrown critical acclaim (High Times, The Onion, The Deli, Jersey Beat).
