Leeds-based band Volk Soup, known for their high-energy live performances, is set to release their debut LP, 10p Jazz, on October 3. Vocalist Harry Jones describes the album as a quest for coherence amidst chaos, highlighting the band’s post-punk, noise, and free jazz influences. Their singles "Reptilian Brain" and "Professionalism Debunked" showcase their diverse sound and lyrical playfulness. Formed in 2020 and evolving into a six-member ensemble, Volk Soup has gained a strong foothold in the Leeds underground scene. The album will be available in various limited-edition vinyl formats.
As they gear up for a series of UK live shows this fall and winter, one might wonder: how does the blend of diverse musical influences contribute to their unique identity, and what does that say about the evolving landscape of modern music?
