About us


Auckland based PAYOLA are a whirlwind of maximum high velocity soul with a car crash of influences that will rattle your ear drums.

In 2007 their self recorded, produced & released limited edition E.P entitled 'Dirt and Stars' was voted one of the Top 20 releases of the year by NZ's #1 download site Amplifier.co.nz. The E.P. is a genre-hopping mix of Parliament styled sci-fi funk fused with alt-country gospel tunes and furious guitar fueled metal soul all wrapped up in a sound so live and vital it'll pin you to the back wall, steal your cigarette's and waltz off with whoever you had your eye on.

PAYOLA bring back the notion of a band you can truly believe in, grow with, and whose music will eventually be the soundtrack to your lives. You're lucky we got to you in time.......
