Volcano, a short-lived band featuring members of Meat Puppets, Sublime, and The Ziggens, will see their 200$-recorded album release officially in 2025. Titled Volcanic, it releases via Don Giovanni Records on June 20.

The band features a core lineup of singer-guitarist Curt Kirkwood, (Meat Puppets), drummer Bud Gaugh (Sublime), and bassist Jon Poutney (The Ziggens), backed by "Mike Strand," who in truth was Michael "Miguel" Happoldt (Skunk Records), who also added backing vocals and guitar in addition to mixing and producing the album.

“The plan was to send the CD around to some people and see what kind of label interest there was,” Happoldt says, but it never came to that before the group disbanded.

Volcano took shape shortly after Eyes Adift, a band featuring Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Kirkwood, and Gaugh.

Volcano Tracklist:

1. Pine Cone
2. Twisted Seeds
3. Love Mine
4. It Don't Matter
5. Run Aground
6. Blown Away
7. Some Kind Of Light
8. Rave Only
9. Arrow
10. Million
11. Volcano
12. Greenery
13. Lonesome Ghost
