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.

☆The Dollheads☆
Composed of siblings Angela Avery (vocals, lead guitar), Samantha Avery (bass, backup vocals), and Austin Avery (drums), The Dollheads are a rising force within punk’s modern new wave of young talent. Beginning their musical journeys when Angela was just 10 years old, the siblings have been playing music together since they were in elementary school. Establishing for themselves an energetic and upbeat artistry, the group conveys a charming and hard-hitting musicality that has cemented them as one of indie punk’s most exciting rising acts.
The Las Vegas-based punk trio were active in 2025 with new music, including the album Adol-essence, and several festival appearances, such as SBAM Fest in Austria and another set at Rebellion in the UK. They continue to tour, with recent shows in the western U.S. and England, and have established themselves with their 2022 album What Teenage Angst and 2023 EP Et Cetera. Their music often addresses themes of mental health, feminism, and identity

It’s time, Brothers & Sisters, to be seen on the scene with ☆Quick Romance☆
Hayden James, on lead guitar, and Gabe Thomas on bass are the rock’n’roll bookends that were Wayne Kramer and Fred “Sonic” Smith, redrawn for the here and now. The boys see themselves as “two straws in the same Coke” (other gut-rotting, thirst-quenching, shit-coloured drinks are available).
Quick Romance singer, Matilda Scotland, slapped Ian Hunter down in the first round to relieve him of his shades, which she now wears proudly as she warns us of the perils of growing up in a big bad world. She likes clothes, music and Brian Jones’s hair.
Making more signals than Thomas The Tank Engine could shake a drum stick at, drummer Oliver Bull-Lifely, moves like a wind chime in a tropical storm, he is the time-keeper’s time-keeper. Unlike the White Rabbit, you can’t set you watch by him, but who wears a watch these days?
If you want to know what you are about to experience, why don’t you try imagining Poly Styrene joining The Sick Things for a chorus of “Bondage Boy”. If you don’t want to know, why don’t you…
And, for the record, teen punks Quick Romance will sing for Scotland Yard… if the price is right.
