Manchester quartet, Juice Pops, blend exuberant genre fusion with sharp songwriting and restless creativity. Formed in 2018, the group have quietly refined their sound to emerge as one of the city’s most entertaining bands. Their self-titled 2021 EP showcased early flashes of bright, sunshine‑pop, but over time, Juice Pops have evolved into something deeper and more textured. Their music now sits at the thrilling crossroads of psychedelia, post‑hardcore, garage rock, surf, and power pop—a mix that brims with melodic vibrancy and emotional contrast. The band’s recent singles marked an ambitious shift in tone and scope. The Death of Anne Boleyn drew praise from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson as a “lo‑fi earworm,” earning national airplay. Onstage, Juice Pops have become a compelling live act, playing storied venues such as the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds and pleasing festival crowds, including a standout performance at Oxfordshire’s 2024 Truck Festival. Their debut album, Living Books, is due for release in January 2026 and captures the breadth of their sound and imagination. It swings between mania and melancholy, threading vivid lyrical imagery of cathedrals, time machines, stargazing, and literary ghosts through layers of twin guitars, vocal harmonies, and vintage organ swells. BBC Introducing Manchester has celebrated the record’s lead single, Heavyweight Champion, as “that sweet intersection of noise and bliss that makes magic.” User-contributed text is available under
