THE POCKET GODS

About Me


Discovered in 2005 by John Peel, who championed their songs about sex, curries & rock 'n' roll & started the rollercoaster ride that led them to exposure on BBC Radio 1 & 6 in 2007. Alternative punk-pop group THE POCKET GODS with their ode to jumble sales 'Jombal Party' which is an airwave fave are all set to take the world by storm!

Their dizzying heights achieved thus far include headlining a showcase at In The City, Manchester (International Industry Event), a live Hub Session for Tom Robinson On BBC Radio 6 (the first unsigned band to play in the hub) & on featuring on his 'Best Of 2007' show, regular airplay on Radio 1 & XFM, Napster 'Download Of The Day'. Support gigs with The Vibrators & The Victorian English Gentlemans Club & an entry on Cherryade's Xmas Album for the second year running.

The Pocket Gods debut album release features 15 songs of pure rock n rollium or what Radio 1’s Huw Stephens says
“Songs about sex, curries and rock n roll….genius!”
It Features the Radio 1 One Music fave songs: “Jombal Party”, “VVBUD” and “I Love The World” as well as the John Peel favourite “Ballad of the Peshwari naan”.
The Atomicduster music zine says of the gods:
“They sound like the Kills after they’ve inhaled some seriously heavy shit”
The Mag says:
“the fun and adventure spills out of the speakers with the mantra that rock and roll is still alive and kicking.”
