Back in 2001, after two sleepless nights hounded by coyotes in the New Mexico desert, The Volta Sound gathered its stuff and headed for California. After a run in with Greg Shaw and Anton Newcombe of Bomp! and BJM, they decided to start putting out and away they went! 4 albums, 1 EP and 3 tours with Orange Sky and Elephant Stone Records later, it was time to put on some pants and maybe get some food.

Consisting consistently of Mike Cormier, the groop spent some time getting sorted until it eventually settled on Mike "Mr. Allan" Allan, Ben "Yawns" Gmetro, Leia "Alligator" Hohenfeld and Rick "Extra Medium" Spitalsky, Khalil "First Born" Cormier and Dylan "Lover" Glover all of whom were also in other equally unsettling yet sexually exciting bands such as: The Dreadful Yawns, The Afternoon Naps, Extra Medium Pony, A Boy and His Tortoise Outburst Jr and likely thousands more.
The Volta Sound found itself releasing 3 albums back to back in the summer of 2012 and totally hooking up, pants and all, with Joe Foster and Sterling Songs Publishing. After adding Chad "Chad Hill" Hill to it's roster and briefly touring with Sterling Roswell of Spacemen 3 and The Darkside, The Volta Sound has reached it's full girth and is now ready to spread itself all over the place. So watch out. Here it comes.
