Voodoo Radio
Cumbrian power pop-punk pair VOODOO RADIO consisting of singer/drummer Paige and guitarist Tony, unleashed their debut 10” mini-album POP PILLS – a collection of eight self-penned, and deliciously infectious two-and-a-half minute pop songs of pure relentless, raw power out on Holy Dotage Records in 2022.
The duo started rocking the tunnels of Leicester Square tube station, London in 2018, stopping commuters and tourists alike in their tracks with a mesmerising ‘summer of 76’ power-pop sound. Tony, a seasoned performer was inspired by hearing Slaves on the radio and suggested to young 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” – Paige certainly could and Voodoo Radio were manifested.
Since gaining a record deal last year with Holy Dotage Records the Cumbrian duo have been played on BBC Radio 6 by Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson. They were also record of the week on BBC Cumbria and have had various interviews. Tom Robinson also choose Voodoo Radio as one of his top 5 up and coming acts to look out for 2022. Summer hit Ice Cream Man was recently played on Absolute Radio by Frank Skinner. Last Year the duo played festivals such as Kendal Calling, Headlined the BBC Introducing stage at Coast Roads Festival, Guilfest, Front Row Fest, Micks Mayhem Punk Fest, Twisterella, Undercover Fest, Alternative Aycliffe to name a few.
Recently they opened up for Big Country and from this they have been booked on to play with The Skids, Sham 69, Ferocious Dog, Spizzenergi, Slim Jim Phantom, Eater, 999 and The Ruts DC throughout 2023. Voodoo Radio gain new fans everywhere they go, selling over 500 of their debut mini albums POP PILLS on yellow vinyl. The duo have impressed the record company (Holy Dotage Records) with their success in the past 12 months and have been signed for another EP - STUPID HUMANS.
