But as its live shows attest, the ░▐ ▌░ band does not want to rehearse old accomplishments. On stage, ░▐ ▌░ Speed Stick wants to shatter epochs. Step into a world of ░▐ ▌░ thunder where lighting strikes rewire nervous systems. Ride ░▐ ▌░ waves with peaks that precede disquieting calms. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Float in spaces where dark and light collide to set blood ░▐ ▌░ afire. To participate in a Speed Stick show is to enter a ░▐ ▌░ space of bodily and psychological endurance. Off-kilter ░▐ ▌░ guitar riffs shadow the raging intensity of drums; blistering ░▐ ▌░ drum beats dance to the feedback of guitars. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The songs for Volume One were created in unusual fashion over ░▐ ▌░ the course of a year. Initially, Speed Stick only consisted ░▐ ▌░ of two drummers. They distributed nine studio tracks and a ░▐ ▌░ single live track to select musicians. The musiciansÆ task ░▐ ▌░ was simple: draw inspiration from the beats in order to ░▐ ▌░ create music that spreads laterally and horizontally like a ░▐ ▌░ rhizome. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Indeed, Volume One has utterly discarded the yoke of genre by ░▐ ▌░ instead tethering intricate, interlocking drums to myriad ░▐ ▌░ creative personalities: Mac McCaughan (Superchunk), Kelley ░▐ ▌░ Deal (The Breeders, R. Ring), Mike Montgomery (R. Ring), ░▐ ▌░ Stuart McLamb (The Love Language). But no one can stop with ░▐ ▌░ just the album. Your ears will yearn to see the shapes of ░▐ ▌░ sound and your eyes will beg to taste color. For what Volume ░▐ ▌░ One heralds is that the supergroup Speed Stick is the super ░▐ ▌░ show of shows. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://speedstick.bandcamp.com/album/volume-one
