About This Title

Swampy rhythms, grimy chords, bluesy archetypes, and religious imagery. Some of the material on Strays wanders to the derivative, but Junkhouse really come into their own when this collection of antiques and curios meshes into hypnotic, mutant blues like the raver "Out Of My Head" and the twisted, shuffling riffs of "This Old Man's Too Drunk To Drive." A more than solid first foray from one of Canada's hardest working ensembles.
