The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Volunteer

 

Volunteer The World Will Begin Again (Jan'15) has a middle of the road Imagine Dragons feel. Blockbuster indie. Or indie pop. Snare? Present.‘Whoas'? Accounted for. Genuine love for the world? Pinned to our proudly protruding chests. I hope someone patented those 'Whooo whoas', that’s bank right there. A euphoric indie song emblematic of mainstream indie pop.

“Don’t come you gotta feel it.”

 

 



The World Will Begin is the debut song from the same-titled short player The World Will Begin Again (Feb’15). Cory Quintard is Volunteer. He comes fighting out of Nashville, Tennessee by way of Orlando, Florida. Cory called in a drummer, Austin Smith, to play on the E.P.

Shit you need to know:

Bands mentioned in the same breath as Volunteer include Imagine Dragons, Passenger, Bastille and Parade of Lights.

Volunteer been called alternative pop but Mr Quintard describes himself, somewhat surprisingly, as alternative rock.

People have thrown around words like ‘arena’ and ‘anthems’ but then people get excited, don’t they?

Cory Quintard does a rip snorting blue grass version of La Roux’s Bulletproof with a couple of cobbers on the street.

 

OK the double dip today is as random as a hooker in Pattaya, but I'm going Kiwi and the indie dance anthem by Kids Of 88 Little Bit (2010). That's how we do.
