Our Spotlight Band is The Fame Riot and check out their new video!

June 16, 2016

Today our spotlight band is on the addictive music of The Fame Riot. The band which features the fabulous brothers, Liz Scarlett and Shazam “Tea Time” Watkins. This will definitely be the year for The Fame Riot as they recently announced their signing to Another Century. Century Label Group President Don Robertson states, “I am thrilled to announce we have signed Tacoma, Washington’s The Fame Riot to Another Century. Being from the Northwest and starting my career in the explosion of the Seattle music scene really makes me appreciate how much talent is still to be found back home. Robert Kampf (Century Label Group Global CEO) and I first saw Liz and Shazam in their last band after a friend tipped me off and we instantly saw that these two are hands down stars and we wanted to sign them on the spot but they wanted to continue to develop and find their sound. Fast forward four years and I heard about The Fame Riot. When I found out it was their new band and heard [Read More]

AM Taxi will have you fall back in love with the mixtape as they release, Semi-Confessional

May 6, 2016

Long before the Ipods, MP3 players, shared playlists, or cds, there was the mixtape. It was the true symbol of youth culture and a musical gem that you would listen to, from front to back. It would become the soundtrack of your life and experiences. They would include a mix of songs and styles, tell stories through the songs, maybe even some bonus tracks or stripped down acoustic songs, they were special. Many artists have continued the tradition of creating mixtapes but I would have to commend AM Taxi for their new limited edition mixtape, Semi-Confessional. This is the mixtape gem! From the first time we played it we were grinning ear to ear. It is refreshing to have true ear porn in this world, instead of the clamor of auto-tune, genre mix-ups/blunders, and incoherent blabber! The mixtape features 11 songs; it contains one previously released track along with seven new songs, one dub remix, and two acoustic tracks recorded live in the studio. Special guests include Ike Reilly, Genevieve (Company of Thieves), Michael “Miguel” [Read More]

Our Spotlight Band is Smash Fashion as they deliver straight up ROCK N’ ROLL!

April 26, 2016

Today our featured band is Smash Fashion. This is one band that as soon as you take a first listen, you will be hooked. In a time where many bands are chasing the new sound or trying to conform to certain critiera, you come across Smash Fashion and it is pure unadulterated, addictive, rock n’ roll. They bring out this nostalgic rawness of 50’s rock and fused with a 60’s mod vibe, but in no way sounds dated. They are fresh, new and exciting. Their album, Big Cat Love has been quite an addiction for all of us here at Music Junkie Press. I don’t think a day goes by that we aren’t cranking up some of our faves like Marionette, Junkie Luck, or singing along to Stay Off My La La. The full bodied album is one you will listen to from start to finish. You will be captivated by the edgy yet inviting vocals, swirling guitar riffs, and toe tapping rhythms. Definitely a must have! Also make sure to pick up their 45 vinyl [Read More]
