Style

The Zoo Crew is spinning the infectious track "Style" by Red Voodoo from their album of the same name, and it’s got the Zoo Freaks grooving! This song is a high-energy anthem that captures the band’s signature blend of modern rock with a retro swagger. In a 2023 interview with Rock and Blues Muse, lead singer Dino McCord shared that "Style" was inspired by the band’s love for bold fashion and confident self-expression, reflecting their Sacramento roots where individuality reigns supreme. The track’s catchy riffs and strut-worthy rhythm were crafted to get crowds moving, with McCord noting on Instagram that it’s “the song we wrote to make you feel like you’re walking down the street with a leather jacket and shades.” Fun fact: the band revealed in a X post that the iconic guitar solo was recorded in a single take after guitarist Davin Loil accidentally spilled coffee on his amp, giving it a gritty, raw edge that made the final cut!

Another tidbit about "Style" comes from a fan interaction on Facebook, where Red Voodoo shared that the song’s lyrics were partly inspired by a wild night at a local Sacramento dive bar, where the band witnessed a flamboyant character who “owned the room with every step.” This story resonated with fans, sparking a thread on the Red Voodoo Fan Club Facebook group, where Zoo Freaks swapped tales of their own stylish moments. The band also teased in a YouTube Q&A that the music video for "Style" features hidden Easter eggs referencing their favorite 80s rock bands, challenging fans to spot them all. These behind-the-scenes stories highlight how "Style" is more than just a song—it’s a vibe that celebrates confidence and charisma, perfectly suited for the Zoo Crew’s eclectic airwaves.

Red Voodoo got their start in Sacramento, California, when four young musicians bonded over their shared love for classic rock and modern grit. According to their bio on their official website, Dino McCord (vocals), Davin Loil (guitar), Andrew Edwards (bass), and Nick Pesely (drums) formed the band in 2018 while still in high school. Inspired by legends like Van Halen and Aerosmith, they began jamming in McCord’s garage, quickly gaining a local following for their electrifying live shows. By 2019, they were playing packed venues across Northern California, with their debut EP catching the attention of rock radio stations. Their big break came in 2022 when they opened for Sammy Hagar at a hometown show, a moment McCord described on X as “surreal, like we were living in a rock ‘n’ roll dream.” This propelled them to release their full-length album Style in 2023, cementing their place in the modern rock scene.

Red Voodoo’s journey from teenage dreamers to rising stars is fueled by their DIY ethos and tight-knit chemistry. Their Facebook page often features throwback photos of their early gigs, showing how they’ve honed their craft over the years. Fans can connect with the band through their active social media presence on Instagram, where they post tour updates and behind-the-scenes content, and X, where they engage with Zoo Freaks about music and more. For die-hard supporters, the Red Voodoo Fan Club Facebook group is a vibrant community where fans share concert photos and discuss the band’s latest releases. Additionally, the unofficial fan site RedVoodoo.rocks offers tour dates and merch links, keeping the Zoo Freaks in the loop. Whether you’re vibing to "Style" or diving into their story, Red Voodoo is a band that’s all about rock ‘n’ roll heart and soul.
