The Voom Blooms are an indie rock band from Loughborough, England, consisting of George Guildford (guitar/vocals), Thom Mackie (drums), Craig Monk (guitar), and Andy (surname unknown, bass).
The group formed in July 2005 with Brett Young on bass, and recorded their first single, 'Politics & Cigarettes' in the autumn of that year. The BBC's Steve Lamacq championed the song on both his Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music radio programs, and the band won 'Fresh Meat' on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. The band also featured in the top 10 of Channel 4's 'Best New British Bands Showcase', recieving more than 24,000 votes. The single was released in March 2006 on Fiction Records and sold out in less than a week, adding to the excitement of the band's spot on NME's club tour.
Having supported The Paddingtons, Milburn, Larrikin Love, Babyshambles and Boy Kill Boy, the Voom Blooms are currently working on their debut album, which is expected some time in 2007. Brett Young left the band in January 2007.
