Voom is a New Zealand band based in Auckland whose original lineup consisted of Buzz Moller, Danny Manetto and Mac Macaskill. Various tensions within the band caused Manetto and Macaskill to depart.

The band has been a staple of Auckland student radio for many years, and has had a number of student radio hits including "Beth", "Relax", and "Be Your Boy" (voted bfm song of the year 2006).
