At the end of January 2022, these cumbrian power-punks will unleash ‘POP PILLS’ - a debut 10” mini-album of eight self-penned, infectious pop gems of relentless, raw power.
If you’re bored with the establishment’s idea of what a band should be, you’re gonna love the way that Voodoo Radio are driving their own story - it’s like punk actually happened.
As a Shampoo fan, I hear where they’re coming from. Tony is a seasoned performer who was inspired by hearing Slaves on the radio. Unafraid to glam rock a guitar solo, he suggested to his daughter, Paige: “get two shoe boxes, anything that’s like a drum stick – a table knife and a wooden spoon and see if you can sing and play rhythms whilst hitting a beat”. Fuck, yeah, that’s worked an absolute treat.
In 2018, the hard working duo started rocking the tunnels of Central London’s Leicester Square tube station.
Their presence stopped commuters and tourists in their tracks with mesmerising ‘summer of 76’ power-pop.
TARDIS time travel from tube tunnels, through Planet Earth’s white mirror looking glass of the last few years, to 2021.
Fresh, fierce and full on ready to bring it.
The October 2021 debut single, ‘SPACE GIRL’, was recently on America’s iconic Rodney On The Rock radio show, as well as being track of the week on the BBC! A hint of B52s x The Cramps but a 21st century guitar-licked sound of their own.
p.s. I really enjoyed my first glimpse of Voodoo Radio live on stage this October.
Kick Out The Jams sure know how to pick out the glams. “How freaking cool.” TheZineUK remarked, capturing half a minute on our instagram.

After their set, I tried to join their mailing list without my specs on in the semi-dark of gigworld.
Bless the band for replying:
“Were really sorry but we didn't catch your name at the Amersham Arms we've got your email address and you wrote in our book that you didn't have your glasses so you've written it extra big Haha! Please let us know who this mysterious person is lol.”
It’s me, and I dig it!
