San Jose hard-blues heavyweights Zed are back with their third full-length effort, Volume. “This album is definitely next level for us,” says bassist Mark Aceves. The group’s new drummer—veteran Bay Area musician Sean Boyles—does more than hammer away on Zed’s latest LP; he helped with songwriting and arrangements as well, which not only helped with rhythmic energy but pushed the entire group to stretch into new territory. As with their past two albums, Zed tapped longtime producer Tim Narducci to coax the most brutal performances possible from the South Bay quartet. Volume officially drops Jul. 26, but will be available to fans at the Fox show.
