About
“Formed in 2023, Sham Radio is a dynamic 2-piece band with live drums that’s redefining what a covers act can be”.
Combining cutting-edge technology with genuine live performance, we create a sound that’s truly unique in the Midlands music scene. Using carefully crafted song production on Ableton alongside live MIDI instruments and keyboards, our sets blend classic crowd-pleasers with modern beats and textures.
What really sets Sham Radio apart is our vibrant MC-style vocals, bringing rap and hip hop classics from the 90s into the mix, delivering a fresh, energetic twist on well-loved hits. Our strong family vocal background runs deep — with session work experience and a professional singer father performing Lecano clubs and NWOMB band Quartz — giving us a rich musical heritage that shines through every performance.
Known for being completely different yet packing venues and getting crowds moving, Sham Radio has built a reputation for delivering huge party vibes and an unforgettable live experience. Whether at weddings, festivals, pubs, or private events, we bring professionalism, versatility, and an infectious energy that keeps the party going all night.
Unique. Unstoppable. Relentless… AND! Full public libility insurance and PAT tested!
