Vanilla Pod were originally formed in February 1995 in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.

A short while later – with the new line-up – the band released their début single “Rebound” on local record label Off-Shoot.

Shortly thereafter, the band was signed to Corby based label Them’s Good and released their debut album “Trigger”  in 1997 as well as partaking in a full tour of the UK.

The band returned to the studio in 1998 to record their second full-length “Faster Disco”, also released on Them’s Good as well as undertaking more touring of the UK and Ireland.

In 2000 Vanilla Pod completed a four-week tour of Australia and Hong Kong. Also in this year, original bassist Steve Campion left the band, to be replaced by Leon Muncaster who was with the band in time to record third full-length album in 2001, which was released on UK punk rock label Deck Cheese, and was the label’s first non-compilation release.

In 2008 Vanilla Pod, alongside many other bands, contributed two newly recorded tracks to a charity compilation CD called Gangsta’s Corner These would be the first Vanilla Pod recordings since 2003. Later that year, Vanilla Pod line-up returned, yet again, to the studio to record their fifth full-length album – entitled Poets on Payday – which would see release in October 2009 on Boss Tunage.
