For two nights, Volume, the Inlander's annual music festival, transformed downtown Spokane

Another Volume Music Festival is in the books, and it sure was a wild weekend. Our ears are still ringing and our necks sore from all that headbanging.

Hundreds of music fans of all stripes flocked to downtown Spokane for back-to-back nights of live shows last week, and more than 80 bands — some touring, others local — hit the stages of venues large and small. If you've never attended, you don't know what you're missing, and hopefully these snapshots of the Volume that was motivate you to join us next year.
