Biography
Volcanoless in Canada’s sound strives to combine precise rhythms and intricate melodies with the appeal and high-paced energy of rock music. Their sonic principle lies in the coordinated triple-guitar-assault, where three acoustics play complementary and interweaving melody lines within the rhythmical domain set by drums and bass. This original concept allows Volcanoless’ music to flow across a vast musical spectrum, embracing elements of rock, pop, folk, country, punk and dance.
Alongside an unbroken streak of Saskatchewan sold-out shows, a sold-out debut album (3500 copies independently sold) and intensely energetic & passionate performances, Volcanoless has completed their sophomore album, The Way Forward. Mixed in Brooklyn, NY by Alex Newport (The Mars Volta, Death Cab for Cutie) and Mastered in Seattle, WA by Troy Glessner (Underoath, Anberlin), the album is currently in final production.
The band spent the summer of 2008 touring the United Kingdom, including performances at Brighton’s Great Escape festival and numerous ‘Club NME’ dates. Back at home, Volcanoless has showcased at NXNE, NewMusicWest, S.C.E.N.E., JunoFest & the Western Canadian Music Awards, touring alongside the likes of You Say Party! We Say Die!, Plants & Animals, Mother Mother & David Usher. With forthcoming summer festival dates and uncontrollable album anticipation, Volcanoless is prepared for an undeniable Musical Eruption.
