Moneen Make Kids Crazy At Free Show

in
By Travis Persaud (CHARTattack) September 16, 2009 4:33 pm
Microphone stands were knocked over and people jostled madly to get to the front of the stage as Moneen's lead singer Kenny Bridges sidled up next to guitarist Chris "The Hippy" Hughes to finish singing "The World I Want To Leave Behind," the title track off their new album — and this was only their first song of the night....

The Junction — Another Link In The Chain

in
By Ben Conoley (CHARTattack) July 28, 2009 1:02 pm
If the Junction know anything at all, it's how to write a catchy pop-rock summer jam. Their new album, Another Link In The Chain, goes as well with a sunny day next to the barbque as an ice cold glass of your favorite lime-flavoured beer. The album absolutely shines on the horn-filled "Level With Me," the hand-clapping "My Love Was There" and...

Bedouin Soundclash's Dance Party

in
By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) September 15, 2008 12:18 pm
No matter what time of year, listening to Bedouin Soundclash makes you feel like you're on a tropical island. So there were few better ways to end the summer than with them at a show on Toronto's waterfront. Most of the crowd, myself included, arrived with the intent of seeing Bad Brains' H.R. open with a solo set. He apparently couldn't make it...

The Junction @ CMW 2007

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) March 9, 2007 1:30 pm
Background/Composition: The Junction are a trio of sunny indie rockers who know how to write a damn fine hook. The guys fall somewhere between Bedouin Soundclash's upbeat rock and The Meligrove Band's singalong-heavy indie pop. Grade: 80 Comment: The Junction seemed to be one of the big draws on the bill that night, and they certainly...

Edgefest 2's Smaller Acts Upstage The Headliners

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) July 18, 2006 3:30 pm
If Edgefest 1 brought the rock, Edgefest 2 definitely brought the punk. Or pop-punk, anyway. Focusing on one genre instead of a mixed bag like previous years produced uneven results, but young punks flocked to the Molson Amphitheatre to see a wide array of mainstream and underground punk talent. One of the great things about going with the...

Moneen Celebrate Good Times

in
By Paul Budel (CHARTattack) June 15, 2006 2:00 pm
One thing I've never understood in regards to Moneen is the oft-used "shoegazer" label. The only way this applied to the band during their set at the Opera House on Wednesday night was when one of their shoes would be roughly at eye-level. Whereas openers Our Mercury and The Junction used driving rhythms and odd time signatures to...

The Junction @ CMW 2006

By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 4, 2006 1:00 pm
Hometown: Brampton, ON  Background/Composition: A sleepy three-piece jam band. Grade: 65 Comment: In the year 2006, there's probably not a lot of demand for the kind of hippie rock that The Junction play. They have their following, but it's a niche market of stoner dudes and really long-haired women....

Video Of The Day: The Junction's "Level With Me"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 11, 2011 5:21 pm
It looks like The Junction have been paying close attention to Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne's live antics involving that big transparent plastic ball he walks around in at gigs. (And Coyne's just probably been watching a lot of The Boy In The Plastic Bubble while high, but anyway...)The Junction's clip for Another Link In The Chain's "Level...

S.C.E.N.E. Spotlight 2010: The Junction

By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) June 21, 2010 1:25 pm
In rock 'n' roll, three is not an unlucky number: some of the best bands of all time, from Cream to The Jimi Hendrix Experience to modern-day groups like Muse went with the tried and true power-trio format. Such is the case for Brampton, Ont.'s The Junction. The three-piece formed way back in 2000, releasing independent EPs before putting out...

The Junction — "No Road"

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 29, 2010 4:25 pm
Here's The Junction's video for "No Road," the second single from last year's Another Link In The Chain. The flashing lights and warehouse space give it the feel of a Champion video... except The Junction aren't likely to play a rave any time soon. Check out The Junction's video for "My Love Was There" here.

Background/Composition: The Junction made a slow and steady climb to perfecting their upbeat indie pop rock sound since releasing their first EP in 2004. A powerful sense of pride and confidence in their latest album, Another Link in the Chain, was reflected through Saturday night's late night performance at the Horseshoe Tavern.    Grade: 90...

CMW 2010 Hot Acts: The Junction

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 11, 2010 12:56 pm
Folks have been trying to figure The Junction out for years. They're popular with the all-ages screamo kids, but they play bouncy indie pop and dip into that Bedouin Soundclash/Planet Smashers reggae rock ska pop world. It melts the brain. Perhaps the best bet is to just listen to their new Another Link In The Chain album and decide for yourself...
