A three-person Chicago group formed around 2005 that released the debut album Beautiful Seizure (issued by the Leaf label). Reviews identify Aaron With as the singer/guitarist and Sam Scranton as the percussionist/noise handler and highlight the band's noisy, experimental blend of indie/alternative rock with free-jazz and electronic elements.

Beautiful Seizure was released in 2005; the band is from Chicago and the debut was released by the English label Leaf. Reviews note the band's lowercase styling 'volcano!' and frequently compare the singer's voice to Thom Yorke.

Reviews describe volcano!'s Beautiful Seizure as a loud, chaotic, and inventive debut mixing noise, melody and experimental arrangements. Aaron With's vocals draw repeated Radiohead comparisons. The record is praised for daring arrangements and a willingness to overturn musical rules. Listeners are urged to persist past initial shock to appreciate the album's textures and inventiveness.

For:Listeners of experimental, indie and noise rock; fans of adventurous, challenging music

 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A blast of hellish noise hit me, terrible, placated only by rare sparks of melody, and then noise again, the drums prominently being pounded to death.

 This is a band that is not rewarded by inattentive and prejudiced listening.
