About
THE VOLANTES are a Manchester Rock / Pop band formed in 2004. The line-up consists of Michael Stewart on Vocals, Pete Lowrey on Guitar, David Liptrot on Bass and Laurie Agnew on Drums. Their music is mixture of melodic powerful commercial rock, incorporating elements of soul and blues. The band previously recorded 3 EP’s from 2004 – 2009, which successfully built their local following and got them recognised on the Manchester unsigned circuit. They’ve played some impressive shows in this time including Tameside’s ‘Party in the Park’, winning The Printworks Battle of the Bands in 2009 and headlining venues such as Moho Live, Manchester Academy, Manchester Hard Rock Café to name a few. The Volantes officially released their debut single 'Woke Over Hung Up' in October 2010. The track was a big success despite having no support from any label or management. “Woke Over Hung Up” was advertised on XFM Manchester, Rock Radio, QTV and the music video play-listed on Lava TV. The single received some great feedback including plugs from XFM’s Clint Boon and Rock Radio’s Moose. The Volantes have been tipped for big things for 2011 with more single releases planned and new material ready to be unveiled to the world. “Excellent...highly recommended” - Pete Mitchell, XFM “The Volantes rock....overall they’re just an amazing band” - Viva Magazine “...very well arranged tunes and brilliant production” - 22nd Century Rock Magazine “It’s easy to love bands like The Volantes.
