   About Pay*ola

PAY*OLA are a rock’n’roll 4-piece from Belfast, Northern Ireland – a band with a great affection for the classic rock greats, and who combine those influences with a modern power-pop sensibility to create their own unique sound – one in which the song is important above all else. A combination of melody and bite, humour and passion, suss and soul. The brand new 77 Miles E.P is the follow up to their well received Try Everything Twice debut album, and showcases these qualities in abundance. A renowned live act throughout Ireland, and with a growing cult following elsewhere – these boys have rocked stages with acts as diverse as Audioslave, Status Quo, Embrace, Thin Lizzy, Buckcherry, Snow Patrol, Jimmy Barnes and Mansun. Improve your day with a big piece of Pay*ola!

Pay*ola recently added new drummer Adam Callaghan to the ranks, and their brand new 4 track E.P "77 Miles" is available to download at www.tunetribe.com (as is their debut album "Try Everything Twice")

Here's what Northern ireland's national newspaper The Belfast telegraph had to say about "77 Miles": “If it got nationwide airplay, it would have a good chance of hitting the charts. The title track is a thumping, powerful, chant-along anthem, ideal for singing along to while punching your hand in the air. It would be hailed as a classic if it was released by Van Halen, Aerosmith or Guns’n’Roses”
