Voxhaul Broadcast is featured in the Feb 2010 edition of the LA Times Magazine by none other than Nic Harcourt and his monthly featured article “Turn It Up!” in the Now Hear This! section. This is what Nic had to say specifically about the band and the latest EP Fact, Fiction & Turquoise:
“Yet another great Southern California band set to make waves. Already getting airplay in the U.K. (why is it the Brits “get” our bands before we do?), they mix up classic soulsinger influences with catchy guitar rock.”
We want to thank Nic Harcourt for the kind words and the recognition regarding the band and our EP Fact, Fiction & Turquoise. We also appreciate LA Times Magazine for giving their readers exposure to our music!
We are closing out 2009 with the songs “Tattooed Bible,” “Fact or Fiction,” and “Days are Long,” all getting some serious airplay on a number of very popular radio stations. And these songs all coming off our unknown and unreleased EP “Fact, Fiction & Turquoise.” It’s been a stellar year!
Next year should be no exception. We are hoping to sign with a new label, release a new album, and go on tour all in early 2010.
Check back often, tune in, and get ready for Voxhaul Broadcast to perform in your town!
December is turning out to be a very good month for us. We were featured on Chris Martin’s radio show on NMEradio.com as Record of the Week as well as having our song “Fact or Fiction” played on KCRW’s the ‘Nic Harcourt’ show. Also, our song “Days are Long” is the 25th best on Kevin Bronson’s Buzz Bands LA Playlist 2009 and is currently being played on Indie 103.1 radio! This means we are getting exposure in both the UK and the United States! We are very excited about this because it places our music in the ears of a great many people, more than ever before. Also, it just may very well provide us with an excellent opportunity to take our music further.
This past Sunday Voxhaul Broadcast debuted on KCRW’s the Nic Harcourt show. This is great news! Not only does this give us some welcome exposure, but many of the bands that have been featured on Nic’s show have gone on to become successful. We would like to thank Nic for playing our music on his show.

"You can tell Voxhaul Broadcast are having a great time up there, dancing around the entire stage and captivating the swooning audience. It’s hard to not wiggle your behind to their Doors-like bass lines. Upbeat songs are their strong suit and damn do they play it well, I can’t wait to see where they go.”

"nothing like a california band that celebrates classic soul (james brown and al green are influences) with some good ol fashion rock n roll. the catchy guitar hook alone is worth a listen, throw in a raw vocalist and these guys have officially been placed on my radar."

"I really like this [Voxhaul Broadcast]! It is really reminiscent of the Walkmen, who had said they had been really influenced by Otis Redding. Sounds like this group has been as well! Beautiful and ghostly!"

"When I think underrated '08 releases, Voxhaul Broadcast's Rotten Apples instantly comes to mind. The band recently did a session with Daytrotter, and it sounds pretty epic. The four-song set features three unreleased tracks, so anyone begging for a new LP might use this to calm their demons."

"Voxhaul Broadcast: Although their MySpace page says “Unsigned” I find that hard to believe. These guys are too good to be overlooked for this long. Regardless if they are signed or not I suggest you check out their rock and soul sound and you will be hooked for sure."
