Volume Water is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Their debut CD, “Underneath the Sun”, was released in 2005. It is a powerful and exciting collection of heavy, riff-driven compositions that stand out amongst current rock-radio fare. The band have a video for the track, “Underneath the Sun” produced by 1976 Films. Their new CD, released in 2008, "Land of the Greed...Home of the Slave", is a 15 track collection of the group’s finest work to date. Volume Water was selected by Hamilton’s rock radio station, Y108, as the Extreme Band Slam winners for 2008, and was a semi-finalist in the Bodog Music Battle of the Bands. They have shared the stage with such groups as The Trews, Teenage Head, Pride Tiger, Rides Again, Age of Daze and many others. Volume Water is known as one of the hardest working bands on the local scene. They perform their brand of power rock to hundreds of satisfied audiences every year.
The players…
John Mamone (bass, lead vocals) - John Mamone was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario; a city that has a reputation for producing incredible musicians. The word that best describes John is “versatility”. Not only can he play all the essential rock instruments with equal proficiency, he is comfortable in musical styles that range from vocal theatre to country to punk. However, his signature style is a unique brand of power rock. As the principal songwriter in the group, Mamone’s trademark sound forms the basis of the Volume Water experience. His bass playing encompasses both driving rhythms and complex arpeggios, and he is known as having one of the strongest and most distinctive voices in rock music today.
Paul Salini (drums) - Toronto born Paul Salini is an experienced session drummer who has traveled as far as Nashville, L.A. and Texas to play his drums for professional songwriters. Salini and Mamone played together in a band known as Dragonfly, prior to joining forces to form Volume Water. Salini’s drumming style can be likened to organized destruction. He hammers the drum kit with a force that shatters drumsticks and eardrums with equal disdain, and yet, as a student of the great rock drummers, Salini doesn’t overlook the fine points of his craft. Drummers like Salini don’t come along every day.
Mike Iannone (guitar) - Michael Iannone was born and raised in the once known as "Little Italy" community of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Inheriting passion and skills for the guitar from his father, Mike began playing at an early age and learned how to play rock and roll. Mike is inspired by such influences as Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, and Angus Young and plays his trademark Gibson SG guitar with intensity and electricity. From 2000-2008 Mike gained a wealth of performance experience playing with various local groups in the Hamilton scene as well as guest appearing with Volume Water on a number of occasions. Showcasing increasing technical ability and accuracy with every guest performance, he was asked join the band permanently in May of 2009. Breathing new life into the group, his ability to switch between bass and guitar allows the band to explore it’s versatility, opening a new dimension to the music and possibilities for future horizons.
