Viki Vortex and the Cumshots are an alternative punk band formed in 2008 in Girona, Spain by Steve Manuell from 70s punk band, The Spurts and Viki Vortex. Described as 77 girl-fronted melodic British punk rock, covering themes like politics, sex, fun and frolics, songs are bass-led with a hint of Buzzcocks and a touch of rockabilly [1] playing straight up punk rock with no bells and whistles. [2]
Their debut gig was in the summer of 2008 in Spain with a local drummer, but later they recruited drummer Theo from UK psychobilly band, The Long Tall Texans to join the crew, thus completing the lineup.
Their style is simple fast punk. According to Louder Than War: "The band keep things deceptively simple but to the point and solos are very much at a minimum although Steve’s clanging guitar and Theo’s clipped drumming are stylish and restrained. It suits the music and helps them stand out..." [3] Brighton and Hove News describes them as "Ramones with a female singer". [4]
In August 2023, they released their 6th cd entitled Toxic Timebomb. The 12 tracks were recorded and mixed in eight hours at Brighton Road Recording Studios. Daryl Smith, guitarist from legendary group Cock Sparrer, added guitar work on the 4th track, Time's Up. Del Strangefish, guitarist from other legendary group Peter and the Test Tube Babies, added his guitar to the 6th track, Toxic.

The Cumshots mix the influences of 70's punk and 50's rockabilly and are influenced by bands from The Cramps to Buzzcocks to Violent Femmes and The Muffs, Dwarves, TSOL and Diesel Queens.
Viki Vortex and the Cumshots have supported Peter and the Test Tube Babies at their annual Brighton, UK Christmas show [10] at the Prince Albert for a number of years.
Viki Vortex and the Cumshots first performed at Rebellion Punk Music Festival in 2015. They played in Blackpool at the festival in 2019 and were booked for 2020 but the festival was cancelled due to corona virus. They also played the festival in 2023. Rebellion Punk Music Festival is held at the beginning of August at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, UK. They also appeared at Undercover Music Festival [11] in Brighton in 2014.
In May 2019, Viki Vortex and the Cumshots played a tour with Contempt from the UK for 3 dates in France - La Petita Mort Tour 2019.
Viki Vortex and the Cumshots have supported a number of well known bands such as GBH, Peter and the Test Tube Babies [12], Anti-Nowhere League [13], Short Bus Window Lickers, The Witchdoktors, Boobie Trap, The Rezillos [14], Cockwomble.
The Long Tall Texans have covered Countdown to a Breakdown which was released in 2017 on Western Star [15] on the album Headless.
The band contributed to Harte Kost: Punk Rock Cookbook [16] published in 2022, a project raising funds for homeless in Leipzig. As a graphic artist, singer/bassist Viki also designs for various record labels including Cherry Red [17], Demon Records [18], Southend Punk [19] and Time and Matter.
