Vanilla Pod are based in Norfolk, England and were formed in February 1995. After local gigs and a demo, original singer Paul Davis left the band in August and was replaced by 15 year old Rob Bunting. After more gigs and a second demo they released their first single "Rebound" in 1996 on local label Off-Shoot. Shortly after the release they were offered a deal with Corby based label Them's Good the home of Goober Patrol. Hence Vanilla Pod's first full length album "Trigger" was released in 1997 which was followed with a full UK tour.
