PopTart came to life early May 2006 when brothers Sam and Josh Radford teamed up with school friend Tobias Gibaud to rehearse and add to some of Sam's earlier composed music. Tim Griffiths was then picked up, roaming around the internet with his bass. The four of them clicked instantly and performed their first show in August 2006.

Before the band had even played a gig there was much interest on the internet as some demonstration recordings had been made and posted on Myspace. The excitement caused by the bands tenacious promotion and catchy music drew 179 people to their very first show in Liverpool! 

PopTart have elements of pop, punk and rock in their music. Some have compared them to Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, McFly and some other bands that fall into the Pop-punk category. PopTart would therefore label themselves Pop-punk but continue to provide us with completely original music that is essentially Pop-punk but does not compare well to other traditional Pop-punk bands. PopTart are bringing us something new.

"Drenched with originality, yet sliding nicely into a commercial market PopTart are set for the skies!"
Tony R, Redland Records.

Although PopTart have only been around for approximately six months they are already performing like a band who have been around for six years. They are impossible to fault on stage, they have the crowd involved from the word go, they always have a memorable stage stunt such as dropping balloons, throwing out sweets and getting a couple of the crowd to participate on stage. PopTart are there for the fans, PopTart are happy when the fans are happy. Their unique music style continues to draw fans daily with some travelling as far as from Sheffield to Liverpool to see them play and their stage presence  continues to wow the spectators.

PopTart were shocked when they had a pre-gig surprise interview from Widnes College Magazine who had got wind of PopTart through word of mouth. PopTart are signed to Redland Records, an indie label from their home town of Liverpool. You can contact PopTart via their record label or via their Myspace:
