The Bright Orange Years is so chock full of catchy songs that it could be any other band's greatest hits album. The Volcano Suns rose out of the ashes of Boston's Mission of Burma and released this masterpiece in 1985. Curiously never released on CD before, The Bright Orange Years is a must-have for any self respecting fan of post-punk, indie rock or hardcore music. Merging noise, aggression and tunefulness seamlessly, it is a wonder that the Volcano Suns were not huge from the get-go. This reissue, remastered by legendary engineer Bob Weston, adds classic 7-inch-only tracks like "Sea Cruise" (featuring backing vocals from the members of Christmas), "Greasy Spine" (featuring a thumping bassline, gospel shouting, Fripp-ish guitar tone and a singalong chant) and "Tree Stomp", plus unreleased tracks and radio sessions.
