Junebug fuses together the best of all worlds to create a groovy sound that is uniquely their own, drawing on many influences from numerous genres including psychedelic, funk, grunge, classic rock, reggae and even country. With influences like Beck, the Flaming Lips, Ween, Cracker, the Foo Fighters and more, their lyrical hooks, funky rhythms and rock & roll licks guarantee good times. They rock, so you don’t have to.
Modern Day Fairy Tales (2010) is Junebug's sophomore studio release. The album is mostly made up of material from their "way-back" catalog. These songs were written by younger men in simpler times and reflect a light-hearted, humorous and care-free period in their lives. The boys decided it would be a shame if these old songs were lost to the ages, so they revived them, breathed new life into them and recorded them with the hope that their current audience would get to know Junebug just a little bit better. Modern Day Fairy Tales was recorded in February 2010 at Fur Seal in Minneapolis with engineer and mixer Joe Johnson, who has worked with such artists as The Bad Plus’s Dave King, Peter Erskine, and Michael Bland.
Manual Dexterity magazine said, "They are trying many new things with their sound. I recommended them before and I'll do the same again for Modern Day Fairy Tales."
Share (2008) is Junebug's debut studio album, recorded in late 2007 and early 2008 at IPR Studios in Minneapolis. It was engineered, mixed and edited by Gabe Masterson and Dan Hartwig and mastered by Tom Garneau. It contains 12 tracks which loosely tell a story of a man's journey of learning how to share in a tough world. The album runs 52:24.
Share has been received well by fans and local critics alike. Swimmer's Ear praised the album saying, "Share is a well-written and perfectly played album of summer jams." BandSoup.com raved that the band "show[s] off their chemistry and knack for making happy haphazard hits sound cohesive."
Share is currently available at the major online retailers (iTunes, Amazon, etc.), as well as in the JunebugMusic.com store. The best way to obtain one, however, is to come out and party with Junebug at a live show, where the album is always available.
During the recording process, a non-album track called "Winterlude" was posted to Junebug's MySpace profile, along with a gag message that it was the sole product of three month's work. It was available for free download, but was deleted by the band to make room for album tracks. It is now available for download here. Enjoy.
