Junk Culture
Junk Culture; emerging like a Phoenix from the ashes of previous endeavours and past mistakes, start fresh, with a new sound, a new name, and a new ideal. That ideal being; to rock your fucking world.
After a fortnight in Liverpool's Crash Studio's, the band throws together a set, and takes it to local Lomax, supporting LA rockers Four Star Mary. A night to become many, demo CD's had gone like hotcakes, and with autographs a plenty, Junk Cultures wings were fully formed.
Two years down the line, and a path full of crossroads, Junk Culture have declined the weary ways of major International Record companies, sticking to their guns and keeping the sound they know works. Signed under DI records, and under the wing of John Grant of Grant Management, Junk Culture is going places.
Their first UK tour done and dusted, and their first official EP release, in stores as you read this, the Junk Culture bible is being written at an incredible rate.
Blink and youll miss their rise to fame. And youll be sorry
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, we play live all the time. We recently completed our first ever UK tour which was quite an experience. I'd say our most special moment would be the final date of the tour.
