Sounds Like
A long awaited Kick up the arse!
The desperate sh*g you really needed...
The noise you hear in your head
...just before you shoot your load!
With a widescreen sound reflecting the hard hitting grooves of Queens of The Stone Age, fused with the blues-rock royalty of Zeppelin, the massive riffs of Audioslave, and the dark atmospheres of Alice in Chains, Voodoo Johnson are proudly flying their flag for Hard Rock, in an effort to break through this soulless era of manufactured reality shows, snazzy special effects, and over-choreographed dance routines...
Formed in 2006 in Birmingham (UK), the band’s hard work and constant gigging earned them support slots with the likes of Duff McKagan’s Loaded, Zico Chain, Valient Thorr, Sign, Hawkwind and Tokyo Dragons. These gigs enabled the band to sell over 1000 copies of their ‘II’ EP, released in February 2008 to great response.
Radio plays by Bruce Dickinson on the BBC Radio 6 Rock Show, and Alex Zane on Myspace Mars Planets Radio further enhanced their reputation, as did a roaring session on TV Show Ditto Music Live on Sky Channel Red TV.
The Midlands based rockers recently released their hotly anticipated 2nd EP entitled "Into The Red" on 2nd March 2009. Produced by Gavin Monaghan (Kings of Leon, Editors, Ryan Adams) the EP has recieved great reviews from the Rock press including Classic Rock Magazine, Powerplay and Black Velvet Magazine.
"Voodoo Johnson grab fist fulls of vintage rock sounds and toss em in the air like confetti"
- Classic Rock Magazine
"With enough contemporary sparkle to truly differentiate themselves Voodoo Johnson remain inexplicably unsigned"
- Classic Rock Magazine
"It comes as little surprise that Voodoo Johnson are already taking the country by storm with an EP as astounding as Into The Red!"
- 5/5 Black Velvet Magazine
"VJ are creating more buzz than a wasp in a matchbox and it's not hard to see why!"
- Rock United
"VJ sound startlingly fresh, each track truly memorable and distinctive. It's rare indeed for a band to have such a clear identity so early on in their career"
- Powerplay Magazine April 2009
"The best thing to hit the UK rock scene since Iron Maiden in '79!"
- The Rock And Roll Report
"Real rock and roll that will blow your doors off. If you are even the slightest bit interested in rock music you will buy this album NOW! 'Into The Red' is a MUST HAVE by any standard" - All Access Magazine
"It's only a matter of time before they are huge. Voodoo Johnson simply ooze class and style"
- Powerplay Magazine
I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you."

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world That all can learn to see Within this world exists for us Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness And cannot find their way Because they choose to believe the lies They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours, If you open your mind Discover what you do not know And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light We can all live in harmony, If we increase our sight, Open your heart open your mind, And see your path anew The greatest joy in life will come From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations Take time and you will grow To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure Come know yourself, The universe, And So Much, So Much More...
