Best of Denver 2023: Best Rock Album – AGES
“With Shelby’s poetic lyrics and whispery yet soulful vocals soaring over the solid foundation provided by Nathen’s intricate bass lines, the album has a classic-rock sound fused with pop and indie influences.”

Album Reviews: VOLORES – AGES
“With each track carried by one guitar, bass, drums and powerful vocals, the album doesn’t find the band trying to fit any specific mold or conform to passing fads or sounds. Ultimately, this is what is going to make AGES withstand the test of time.“
– Shannon Shumaker | Prelude Press

Band of the Week: VOLORES
“There’s post punk (and punk tout court, too), there’s folk, there’s Americana, there’s straight up rock’n’roll and the good kind of pop. There’s head-boppin’, there’s dancing, but there’s also darkness and melancholy and sadness.”
– José Carlos Santos| The Devil’s Mouth
