Revol Archives #004: Voodoos - Turn Me Into Juice
Written just before they played for us along with Pleasure Heads in June last year, here's our thoughts on the then recently released new single from Voodoos, Turn Me Into Juice...
Note: This was first published on Popped Music.
It’s not every band that emerges in to the world as a fully-formed hit machine, but on the evidence to date, that’s exactly what Voodoos have done – despite only around 8 months having passed since they unleashed the fantastic Natalie as their debut single, the band have built an ever-burgeoning following in their native Glasgow the back of their instantly infectious releases and outstanding live shows.
The latest milestone in their ascendancy comes in the shape of Turn Me Into Juice, a song which encapsulates everything good about the band. Effortlessly managing to be punchy and uplifting and murky and brooding at the same time, the track sees melodic guitar lines intertwine with quirky lyrics, big choruses and a tight, heavy rhythm section – although it clocks in at just over two minutes, it’s the kind of song that seems to have something different to offer with each listen.
A hugely accomplished and confident piece of work, Turn Me Into Juice is a short, sharp and irresistible anthem which cements Voodoos’ status as one of the most exciting acts in Scotland.
Voodoos: (L-R) Piero Marcuccilli (guitar/vocals), Marco Conte (drums), Marc Mclaren (bass) & Lewis Grant (guitar)
