EVERYBODY KNOWS

Voodoo Canapé - 2023

The first single from the long-awaited third album (coming 2024).

Everybody Knows is a celebration of the bands long-standing influences of 50’s Rock’n’roll and Rockabilly, intersected with 70s/80s Punk and New Wave, with an undeniably catchy guitar riff, pounding double bass and drums and lovelorn lyrics straight out of the Buddy Holly playbook, all rounded off with some extra instrumentation in the piano and lap-steel guitar, that compliment but never overpower the arrangement.

A limited physical release of only 250 copies (hand numbered by the band) on pink 7” vinyl with an exclusive festive B-side that’s sure to make you smile are available to order now!

TELEKINESIS

VOODOO CANAPÉ - 2022

A standalone single with a digital-only release.

Weaving a tale of psychokinetic powers and clandestine government experiments, Telekinesis is a blistering 3-minute journey through the world of The Zipheads, with explosive drums, rapid-fire vocals, relentless double bass slapping and a mean pseudo-rockabilly guitar riff driving the whole affair.
