The Volunteers.  We are four dudes with unrealistic dreams.  With the odds piled up against us like tons of refuse, we have chosen to persevere and carve out a place for ourselves in the music industry.

One of us just got out of rehab.  Most of us get stoned on the daily.  One of us has a Shi-Tszu.  One of us has had sex with over 300 women.  One of us is married.  One of us is divorced.  One of us owns a home.  One of us is homeless.  All of us love music more than life itself.

In the last six months we have done tons of shows in the East Coast.  We have played for hundreds of screaming fans singing along to our songs.  We've been ripped off at gigs and played for no one.  We toured in a 1979 van which we lovingly dubbed "Betty the Sock", which finally met her demise late one night in New Jersey after a bad gig.  We just got a brand new van.

Now on a national tour, and with few hard earned successes adding up, including headlining Berklee's SXSW party, having our music placed on MTV and Oxygen Networks, and being recognized as the first ever High Times Unsigned Band of the Month, we now look forward to the future... where hopefully all of us will sober up in time to get stoned, have sex, get married, get divorced, own a home, and then burn it down... all while listening and rocking out to great music.

We Are Volunteers...

Rock music with a roll.. VOLUNTEERS are served straight up in the single malt blend that is New York City. A quartet indie rock band, VOLUNTEERS have gained homegrown critical acclaim, and are touring the US, summer 2009.

The Volunteers recent album Spectrophilia, was recorded with Producer Paul Mahajan (Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, TV on the Radio, The National) at Monsterland Studios in Brooklyn, NYC.  The Volunteers live performance brings master musicianship along with great songs with powerful delivery…..
