Heavy Fuzzed out Psychedelic Rock from the desert of 29 Palms- “the best lo-fi mindf*ck since Monster Magnet’s 25…Tab” Revolver Magazine. For fans of the Stooges, Monster Magnet, Blue Cheer. Requesting Permission To Land was recorded with the help of Mike McHugh (Train, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion). Each song was recorded in one or two takes to retain the original heart and soul of the piece. “it’s rock and roll. Not brain surgery” says Patrick of the recording process. The end result is a potent blend of thirty-plus minutes of psychedelic fuzzfest freakout and perhaps some of the rawest riffs you're likely to hear. Having made one another's acquaintances through previous projects, Scott Reeder (Fu Manchu) stepped in to lend his drumming expertise to the recording session. Reeder plays like an absolute madman on the album and particularly shines on "Don’t Look Around. Requesting Permission To Land met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Dardevil.de stated “throw your ‘Spine of God’ copy in the trash and let Volume land in your CD player.” Hellride Music shouted that it was “more Kramer than Kramer these days”.
