[Happy 30th birthday to Norah Jones ...] Nico Stai's residency at Spaceland this month has been a high-energy affair, owing first to his quartet's squeezing every ounce of juice out of his '90s-vintage pop-rock, and second, to a lineup of buzzy opening bands that got things tingling. Tonight's Flaunt Magazine-stamped finale (which follows Stai's taping of a "Carson Daly Show" segment that will air Thursday) will be no different, with Australian fun bunch the Grates opening, and Tim James of the Movies and [...]
After yesterday morning's scare, thankfully Kip turned up. On the couch downstairs at the flophouse we're crashing at. Phew! It was another fine day in Texas; 80 degrees, sunny, lots of metal. First up was Full Metal Texas, at which I saw Black Math Horsemen, Kylesa, Skeletonwitch and Fact. The End Records / MetalSucks showcase followed, [...]
Brutal, cinematic, clobbering, psychedelic; all of which could easily describe the Sharon, Massachusetts five-piece instru-metal band, Irepress . Having built a small following with their debut album, Samus Octology , Irepress have continued with their brand of chiseled post rock with their latest release, Sol Eye Sea I . Sol Eye Sea I is an album filled with all the metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, and cryptic riffs that hit out of nowhere with the pummeling impact of a meteor. Irepress is proving that New England is [...]
Thus, the great musical migration begins. The time of year when the preening musicians shed their downy winter coats and the musical industrialists begin their violent rutting, and both travel to the balmy shores of Austinland to begin a vigorous coupling ritual that has existed since the mid-nineties. The music journalists too-a symbiotic species, not to mention hermaphroditic and incestuous-begin their annual masturbatory phalanx for the musicians. Truly the 8th wonder of the natural kingdom, and I, dear reader, the respected and feared Bartender, intend to observe with watchful eye this unique spectacle. That’s right folks, I’ll be [...]
MetalSucks is proud to present, along with our friends at The End Records, an actual Official South by Southwest 2009 Showcase! Kip and I will be rockin' with our cocks out in Austin, TX non-stop from Wednesday through Saturday while Axl and a particularly clever MS Mansion Monkey named "Higgins" hold down the fort here [...]
I have to admit that I was going to do something totally different for this week's mix. Then I found this song from Gang Gang Dance and knew that the mix just needed 9 supporting tracks. Gang Gang Dance - House Jam Junius - At The Age Of Decay pacificUV - Need Joy Wants Eternity - Existances Rust El Ten Eleven - Lorge Underworld - Bigmouth Unkle - Hold My Hand Fields - The Death [...]
by theseseans (NYC) This weekend has some awesome shows coming up. First up is Saturday at Death By Audio in Williamsburg with Rosetta, Junius, Moving Mountains, Tombs, and Batillus. I am super stoked for this show, basically to see Tombs, but also Batillus are probably the only instrumental doom band that I would ever make the effort to go see. Sunday night at Public Assembly in Williamsburg
Yeasayer (photo from r5productions ) Following a great start to the week and month, Thursday has a bunch of shows to check out. After a night in the District, Yeasayer is coming to the First Unitarian tonight for their first Philly show in almost a year. IPod commercial featured artist Chairlift joins them. mp3: Yeasayer - Sunrise mp3: Chairlift - Bruises Bluegrass meets punk sprinkled with Celtic overtones is probably [...]
by crustcake gerf (NYC) It's no secret that we dig The Sword . It's also no secret that the band's sophomore album drops on April Fools' Day. The album, Gods of the Earth , is no sophomore slump-- the band has taken their signature proto-metal sound and honed it into an album so badass that its 40-some minutes fly by in what seems like half the time. The band will be heading to the UK for a few dates with Saviours and Black Cobra before heading back [...]
by crustcake gerf (NYC) (My apologies in advance for the tardiness and laziness of this post) A few good shows going down this week. Head over to Luna Lounge tonight (better leave now) for my much-loved Junius along with labelmates Constants who are also awesome (think ISIS meets Cave In , but more raw) and Caspian , who want to be Explosions in the Sky real bad. Also tonight, you can catch weirdo-synth-punks (or whatever) [...]
Junius - Blood Is Bright Junius - At The Age Of Decay
Next week, I will present you with my favorite albums of the year. Before I do that, I wanted to touch upon some of my favorite songs that aren't on the CDs that made my list. So I decided that this week's mix would be a good chance to that. Enjoy! Modest Mouse - Spitting Venom Film School - Must Try Easier Band of Horses - Is There A Ghost? Junius - A Word Could Kill Her Kinetic Stereokids - Explosions Were [...]
Our London contributor has recently taken note that there's metal flowing through my veins. I recently took note that there isn't any running through his and scanned my internal hard drive for something non-metal I could share that might be up his alley. Taking into consideration that Boston's Junius are planning to tour the UK in 2008, I couldn't help but wonder if he was familiar with the band. There is also some recent news about them to share. One stone...two birds! [...]
If you haven't noticed, Joe has been M.I.A. this week with a pretty serious illness. The good news is that he is finally recovering and was just cleared by the doctor, so he should be back in circulation by next week. Anyway, I wanted to do more of a rock infused mix this week to help him get his energy back. Enjoy! Pelican - City Of Echoes Avec - Dysplasia Junius - At the Age of Decay Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye Unkle - Hold [...]
October gets nick-named "Rocktober" for reason - 'tis the season for concerts. I attended at least two a week, making it hard to find time to write about all them as soon as I would have liked to. Here are quick rundowns of the latest happenings. Fog, Torche & Jesu @ Blender Theater, Saturday, Oct. 20 Openers Fog fit into the soft vs. loud aesthetic dominated by bands like Isis, Explosions in the Sky and headliners Jesu - however, Fog was less [...]
Junius. In a word, epic. Yes, their music is heavy, but Junius are not a metal band. Theirs is a sort of heaviness that transcends mere riffing and embodies a more literal sense of the word. There is weight to their music. Their new-ish seven inch, The Fires of Antediluvia, comes in five colors, each corresponding to one of the classical elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Aether: transparent
Some good live jams going down this week. The New Pornographers are at Webster Hall tonight, but we will be over at Cake Shop checking out lo-fi garage rock neo-oldies duo (or something like that) The King Khan & BBQ Show. Tomorrow, you can see Morrissey at Hammerstein Ballroom if you have $65 to spare. We recommend sneaking in, knowing someone who can put you on the list, or, um, not going at

At The Age of Decay By Junius Album: Junius Label: Radar Recordings Genre: indie rock Tags: boston,indie rock Download : MP3 Audio Buy It Boston's Junius has a sort of jangly noisiness - both dark and bright at once.
Junius Genre: Indie / Rock / Progressive From: Boston, Massachusetts United States Boston's Junius (apparently an enigmatic letter-writing historical footnote and political critic from the 1700's, what would we do without Wikipedia?) wear their brooding quasi goth eighties heart of darkness on their, predictably perhaps, black sleeves, whilst skillfully conjuring something that sounds fresh out the box. The vocals drizzles onto a nouvelle cuisine platter of reverberating guitars and a [...]
