The Volcanics formed in Perth, Western Australia's back blocks with a purpose of playing stripped down rock ‘n’ roll with no hype attached. Inspired by the great local bands that came before them such as The Victims and The Scientists as well as the classic rock sounds of The Stooges, MC5 & AC/DC, the boys from the band have concocted their own brand of white hot, fuel injected rock n roll. The Volcanics are Johnny Phatouros (vocals), Tommy Hopkins (guitar), Pete Acklin (bass) and Alex Megaw (drums)
