Junior Boys — Begone Dull Care

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) March 30, 2009 1:39 pm
Indie-dance had critics running for the club floor back in 2006, the same year Toronto's Junior Boys dropped their much-lauded sophomore album, So This Is Goodbye. But the indie-dance floor has gotten pretty crowded over the past two years, as a bevy of new bedroom knob-twiddlers flood the airwaves with would-be club-bangers for skinny, pale...

Stereo Image — Stereo Image

By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) October 7, 2008 1:30 pm
Listening to Stereo Image will transport from the coolest shady New York bar in some laneway to that amazing, run down record shop someplace in London, England. Which is why its so shocking that the dance duo are from Hamilton. One part former Junior Boy (Johnny Dark) and another part house vocalist (San Serac) make for one hell of a dance record...

Junior Boys @ NXNE 2007

By John Papamarko (CHARTattack) June 9, 2007 12:30 pm
Background/Composition: Junior Boys are a Hamilton two-piece who seamlessly combine element of pop, rock, electro and house into brilliant soundscapes created with the blips and bloops of a synth paintbrush. Grade: 89 Comment: Junior Boys headlined tonight's stellar show at The Mod Club and there was good cause. Their techno pop is...

Junior Boys Can't Recreate The Magic

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) April 11, 2007 3:00 pm
I spent the bulk of Friday sitting around my apartment utterly ecstatic to not be at work. In the course of my laziness, I threw on So This Is Goodbye and was instantly reminded of how engrossing the Junior Boys can be. As a result I was sure, nay convinced, that a live dose of the Hamilton duo's nuanced and incessantly catchy tunes would provide...

Junior Boys — Dead Horse

in
By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) March 27, 2007 7:18 pm
Junior Boys have paid tribute to the low expectations that usually surround remix EPs by christening their own Dead Horse. Irony aside, it's a decent collection of remixes, but still pretty formulaic. Here, five remixers from different dance genres (indie dance, electro, Detroit techno, dubstep and ambient, respectively) take on tracks from So...

Junior Boys — So This Is Goodbye

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) September 5, 2006 2:03 pm
The first single from Junior Boys' new album, "In The Morning," is a solid piece of Kraftwerk-inspired synth pop that blends breathy beat boxing, staccato guitars and the most funked and soulful singing Jeremy Greenspan has ever shown off. Unfortunately, the musical surprises end here — at track five. This record has attitude, variety...

1) Elliott Smith - "Misery Let Me Down" (Unreleased song from 1997 WMUC session) Imagine how former WMUC DJ Ben Weisholtz felt when he opened his MiniDisc player and found an old radio session with the late, great Elliot Smith. The recording had eluded the station's meticulous digital archive, but has been returned over a decade later. Smith...

Have you ever wondered what your favourite metal band's logo means? Now you know, thanks to The Grid. While everyone rushed to comment on Amy Winehouse's death this weekend, it was... Russell Brand who made the most sense. Kanye West and Jay-Z are now apparently known as The Throne, and are heading out on tour in support of their Watch The Throne...

Junior Boys — "Bits & Pieces"

By CHARTattack Staff December 9, 2009 5:35 pm
Junior Boys' video for Begone Dull Care's "Bits & Pieces" features plenty of dancing people covered in glow in the dark paint with crazy patterns. One dude seems to be covered in some kind of fishnet stockings pattern. The whole thing is just insane.

Junior Boys' Friends Add New Flavour To Songs On Remix EP

By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) March 30, 2007 4:30 pm
Remix EPs are often regarded as a throwaway affair or a belated overture to the dance community. For Hamilton's Junior Boys, whose music is already steeped in old school house and techno references, their remix EP was a chance not only to phone up DJs they like and respect, but to filter their songs through a variety of genres — not simply as...
