"The most engaging dark rock to come out since Joy Division last graced a stage." – Disclosure Magazine "Genius as far as contemporary new wave/cinematic art-rock goes... An epic audio masterpiece." – The Big Takeover Boston post-punk / post-rock (let's call it post-wave) quartet Junius has slowly built up a strong following over the course of a pair of EPs and some very impressive live shows. Soon, the band's epic, dark sound will spread even further with the October release of a self-titled disc compiling the two previous records [...]
Our first love here at IA, is to talk about local music. Our second love, is to find great new music from all around the world. A great release we just got word of a couple days ago, is from the band Junius . They are a dark, electro-enhanced rock quartet from Boston. Think Explosions in the Sky, with lyrics. Their self-titled release will compile the two EPs that they have previously released. I have had the pleasure of listening to the whole album and it blew me away. The sounds [...]
Menn segja þá flytja besta þunglyndispoppið síðan Joy Division var og hét. Ég hef aldrei verið nógu mikill Joy Division aðdáandi til að geta sagt til um það en get hinsvegar tekið undir þunglyndis helming þessarar fullyrðingar. Reyndar má líkja Junius við afkvæmi Interpol og The Twilight Sad . Það finnst mér alls ekki slæm blanda. Samnefnda, fyrstu plötu sveitarinnar má heyra hér . [MP3] Junius - At The Age Of Decay
... und zwar die neue Welle der Bands, die sich in ihrem Treiben von Shoegaze- und Wave-Klängen inspirieren lassen. So kann man auch das Bostoner Quartett Junius nicht als wirkliche Shoegaze-Band bezeichnen, doch gruppiert sich hier ebenfalls viel um sirrende und durch den Verzerrer geschickte Gitarren. Dass dies nicht in reinen Lärm ausartet, dafür sorgen stilvolle Melodien und ein mal kräftiger, mal atmosphärischer Gesang, der mich ab und an schon an britische Wave-Zeiten denken lässt. Post-Punk nennt man sowas heutzutage ja. Eine Reihe von EPs haben Junius bereits veröffentlicht und nun arbeitet man am Debütalbum «Martyrdom [...]
Boston band Junius will release a compilation of some of their stellar EPs this October, and a full-length with Bravery producer Kevin Mills sometime thereafter. And count me among those who cannot wait. This band rocks a certain sonic middleground between classic post-punk juggernauts (The Cure, My Bloody Valentine) and forward-thinking live bands like My Morning Jacket. Part of the splendidly dark aura that often enters their music is mined from unique recording practices that find the band exiling themselves to remote locations to work through their muse (remote farmhouses, cabins, a storge facility, etc). However unorthodox, it [...]
Man, you guys have no idea how difficult it was to assemble today's rock themed EP. I think it took me forever! Is everyone really only making pop music these days? I mean, I know I said yesterday that I thought there wasn't enough interesting rock currently being made, but deep down I kind of figured that maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Anyway, here's five different styles from the genre. Enjoy. The Muslims, Gore Gore Girls, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Les Savy Fav, Junius Please visit the site for [...]
