The Quinn Spinn: Keeping Rock Alive and Thriving in 2021 with VOLK

Posted on January 3, 2021 by Gerard Longo Leave a comment

VOLK closed 2020 by releasing their new single and video for “Welcome to Cashville,” a high-powered rocker that stares down the music industry and shoots from the hip. It’s the first taste of their forthcoming album, Cashville, and it’s reason to be excited about what’s to come, to say the least!

Even more reason for excitement? Today, you get to hear the story of Chris Lowe and Eleot Reich, who formed VOLK after meeting by chance in Berlin, Germany. Together, they’ve traveled a winding musical road that led them all the way to Nashville, where they’ve remained focused on releasing music that is raw, honest, and unforgettable.
