About

Payola were formed in January 2024 through a love of 60’s rock n’ roll, soul, 70’s punk, 90’s indie & Britpop, and a desire to add something new to an already brilliant London new music scene.

As a result Payola’s swaggering debut single ‘Born Out Of Frustration‘, was released into the wild in August 2024 to high acclaim.

“No holes barred rock n roll , that’s undoubtedly one of the best debut singles of the year” – This Is The Music

“An anthem for the frustrated, a rallying cry wrapped in infectious hooks and charged with raw energy” – Epic Noise

Follow up single ‘The Way It All Begins‘ is due for release in November 2024, with the band planning live shows throughout 2025.
