When guitarists Diego Farias and Daniel Braunstein began collaborating and producing new material in their hometown of Los Angeles, US, in early 2009, it marked the beginning of the journey that Volumes would embark on. With line up additions including Gus Farias (unclean vocals), Michael Barr (clean vocals) and Raad Soudani (bass), the band began creating the masterpiece which was their debut EP. With the support Outerloop Mangement and Mediaskare Records, the band released “The Concept of Dreaming” EP in 2010.

The following year Volumes released their debut album “Via” and in 2013 the band released their second album “No Sleep” which reached number one on the iTunes Rock and Metal chart headed by the lead single “Vahle”. With tracks such as “Edge of the Earth”, “Erased” and “Across the Bed” saw Volumes on the cusp of success.

2014 proved a pivotal year for the band as they saw their popularity soar as they were invited to play the entirety of the eponymous rites of passage, Vans Warped Tour- the largest touring rock festival in the US which opened them up to a whole new audience who embraced them with open arms.
