Volumes vocalist Gus Farias has been accused of scamming fans out of hundreds of dollars for not delivering on guest vocal spots he was paid for. The band themselves have since commented on the matter, offering:
“We have been made aware that Gus made some arrangements with some bands to do guest vocals for compensation. We are also being made aware that these cases, guest vocals apparently were not done.
These arrangements were not organized by the band, label or management, but by Gus himself without our full knowledge.
If you have arranged for vocals to be done and did not receive them, please email [email protected] with your details and we will refund you immediately via PayPal or Venmo.
The entire band sincerely apologizes for this.”
The statement follows a report over at Rockfeed.net which featured various screencaps and more of conversations with Farias from musicians/fans he apparently ripped off. Farias himself and his bandmate/brother Diego just had a colorful weekend, feuding with their ex-vocalist over social media.
