We owe thanks to all of you who supported us with the Emerging Icons competition through Facebook. Run weekly, it’s chance for unsigned bands (that’s us) to get a feature on Absolute Radio. 

Our track ‘Gangs’, got through to the final five on the Sunday Night Music Club on Absolute Radio landing a review from Pete Donaldson:  

“An alloy of Thin Lizzy-esque riffage and Van Halen duelling. Broken Britain never sounded so good”.

2012 looks to be an exciting year for the band as they get ready to play venues throughout London. The bands gigs have been described as having ‘aggression, humour, musical competence and foot-tap-ability’ almost as if you have been parachuted into an early Who gig. With a combination of hard work and raving reviews from the local circuit, the band are set to be playing some big venues (yet to be confirmed) in 2012.

Having played on the BBC Introducing stage at the “Rhythms of the World” festival in 2010 and numerous radio spots on BBC-Music-Introducing and BBC Three Counties Radio , the boys are certainly excited about the new year and what it has to bring.

BBC-Music-Introducing – “If you love your Blues bands you will enjoy Vinyl Junkies, the crowd went crazy for this four piece. Hailing from the Stevenage and Hitchin area, they are sure to go down a treat when they play on the BBC Introducing… stage at Rhythms of the world”.

The Vinyl Junkies will be heading into the studio to record a number of new songs. After a successful 2011; topped off by a great gig on new years eve. The band are rehearsing and are ready to record four new songs which will be available to listen here!

New Single “GANGS” Out Now

Their latest recorded track is available to listen to on the player! The song “Gangs” was recorded in November 2011 and the creativity behind the track was inspired by the London riot’s that occurred late last year.
