Volta Do Mar is an instrumental band that follows the style of Billy Mahonie and Tortoise. This foursome creates a bit jazz styled instrumental rock that gets going pretty good at times. They also have no problems slowing it down and provide a cool jam. Volta Do Mar will get lumped into the math rock category but there is no problem with that. In fact VDM provide a hell of an intelligent rock ride. The 13 songs on here provide a broad insight into what Volta Do Mar do best, which is their instrumental rock. The key to this band is the intense bottom end that they get with a five string bass as well as a six string bass being played at the same time. Apparently their live show is something to see too. They have shared stages with American Analog Set, Oneida, Hey Mercedes, and Har Mar Superstar just to name a few.
