Juno Ashes_

"If you've seen Juno Ashes live, you'll know "Jennifer Sometimes". It's the one with the momentously towering chorus, usually accompanied by singer Andy Gardner raising a clenched fist whilst attempting some sort of balletic twisting manouevre.

"... his foundation-shaking vocals are not the only ingredient setting Juno Ashes apart from the 'are-you-still-here?' post-punk revival brigade; Rob Steadman's soulful background piano echoing Doves "Here It Comes" whilst the melody takes its time to build up to that peak.

"Meanwhile Right The Wrongs sees Andy and the band in more understated mould, slipping into view with some beautifully mournful guitars before sneaking up on you with a widescreen sort of anti-chorus washed in lush sweeping keyboards. This is probably what Editors think they sound like; they don’t even come close.

Single review by Cath Aubergine

*****************************************************

"Andy, Neil, Adam, Rob and Paul have crafted an utterly blinding record, full to bursting with majestic piano hooks, guitar licks dripping with purposeful delay, clever, grinding bass lines and drum beats filled with urgency.

"It's a wonderful mix, fronted by a vocal that screams conviction with every note.

"It's hard to sum up the band's sound, too. Think Morrissey finally waking up and getting to grips with a new decade, think Coldplay's majesty and think a vocal that could teach Editors' Tom Smith a thing or two about drama.

"Juno Ashes are armed with a hell of a sound, some rather excellent production and a host of frankly brilliant songs.

"With even initial forays into songwriting yielding absolutely huge results, we don't doubt that it won't be long before this band is everywhere.

"Congratulations, Juno Ashes, on being our favourite unsigned band of the year. We reckon they'll be massive before you know it!"
