Boss Volenti are a rock quartet based in Dublin, Ireland. They formed in 2003. Rob Daly and Dan O'Connor first met while playing in bands around Dublin. Then followed Laura Mackey, who Dan met while both were studying guitar at college. Drummer Graham Hopkins came across the band in 2005 when they were demoing recordings for their debut album and asked the other three if he could join the band, as they were experiencing problems with their previous two drummers. If the band were to mention influences they might range from such artists as Thin Lizzy, Al Green, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Hall & Oates.
