Vanilla Pod are based in Norfolk, England and were formed in February 1995. After local gigs and a demo, original singer Paul Davis left the band in August and was replaced by 15 year old Rob Bunting. After more gigs and a second demo they released their first single “Rebound” in 1996 on local label Off-Shoot.
Shortly after the release they were offered a deal with Corby based label Them’s Good the home of Goober Patrol. Hence Vanilla Pod’s first full length album “Trigger” was released in 1997 which was followed with a full UK tour.
In late 1998 Vanilla Pod returned back into the studio to record their second full length album. The outcome of this was the release of “Faster Disco” in 1999 to much critical acclaim. Again another successful UK tour followed including this time Ireland.
2000 was another good year for Vanilla Pod.
In May/June they had a successful 4 week tour of Australia and Hong Kong. After the tour however bass player Steve Campion left for personal reasons and was replaced by Leon Muncaster.
With the new input of song writing from Leon it didn’t take long to complete the writing of the third album. The Pod decided to try a different label and was released by Them’s Good on mutual grounds. After a few phone calls and a free meal they decided to have their new album released on Deck Cheese records who had at that time only done 3 compilations. But as the guys at Deck Cheese were good friends they felt real comfortable with giving it a go.
