What some other people have had to say about us:
"This darky lush epic...is the best soundtrack for reveling in the melancholy of actually living since My Bloody Valentine's Loveless." - Alternative Press
"Genius as far as contemporary new wave/cinematic art-rock goes... [an] epic audio masterpiece..." - The Big Takeover (review of Blood is Bright)
"One of the most engaging dark rock albums to come out since Joy Division last graced a stage." - Disclosure Magazine (review of Forcing Out The Silence)
"This fiery Boston quartet displays the potential to emerge as the bridge between post-grunge and the future of alternative rock." - Amplifier Magazine
"Breathtaking atmospherics and dark sensibilities deserved of being likened to the Cure's Disintegration punctuate this EP. Vocalist Joseph E. Martinez deadpans a brooding style that clashes at the perfect angle with the swirling sounds that rise around his words. Without straying into anything too heavy, Junius manages to maintain an intense presence that is as stylish as Interpol but carries a sincerity and distinction not found in enough young acts. This band seems to have borrowed just enough from previous decades to build and shape something all its own. This Boston-based quartet approach new wave tendencies with a shield of spacey guitars and artistic vocal stylings to create something that is not soon forgotten. With high energy emanating out of a pensive sound, Junius punctures each track with unshakable singularity until it turns into something addictive and encompassing." - Exclaim! Magazine (review of Blood is Bright)
"Nothing short of a revisioning of the art of the shoegazer. Junius is artful, thoughtful, and textured while also being heavy, intense, and impactful. Not since Cave In's album Jupiter have I been this taken with a rock band! If you want your brooding art rock to rock hard again, then Junius is your new favorite band. It has become mine!" - The Noise (review of Forcing Out The Silence)
"Ever since Junius started rocking our headphones, we've been in a good place. This is dramatic stuff, kids, the kind of sound that takes us back to the Cure, the mainstay of our callow youth. If we admit to becoming addicted to the sound of lead singer and guitarist Joe Martinez's voice, does that make us sound like some kind of weird stalker?" - The Boston Globe
"Blood is Bright showcases [Junius'] modern take on new wave, with spacey guitars, looming vocals and enough originality to set them at the top of the game. The band has created strikingly original material while avoiding many of the trends of the current music scene, in turn bringing forth work that would make their influences proud." - Decoy Music
"With their latest release, Blood Is Bright, the Massachusetts quartet has produced a well-crafted EP that will surely grab attention from old fans, new fans, and those simply willing to put their blast-beats on hold for twenty minutes. If you enjoy intelligent music of all genres, then giving Blood Is Bright a couple listens will be well worth it." - Lambgoat.com
"[Junius] owe as much to instrumental post-rock as they do to the Goth acts of the eighties... The arrangements are unique and the sound is, at times, a perfect reproduction of that elusively cool eighties vibe." - Skyscraper Magazine
"They wear their brooding eighties swirling darkness on their sleeve, yet still manage to conjure something fresh, majestic and uplifting. The vocal drips onto a textured canvas of chiming echoed guitars and a throbbing backbeat reminiscent of Pornography-era Cure, with the bombastic crunch of My Bloody Valentine." - The Noise (review of Blood is Bright)
"Take the darkness of The Cure's best and mix it with the heaviness of A Perfect Circle and moodiness of Placebo... This fell into my lap at the right time." - Razorcake (review of Forcing Out The Silence)
"While post-rockers with big-ass pedal boards arent exactly a novel concept these days, it's a rare treat for a band to have both the technical knowledge to make it all sound huge and otherworldly, as well as a knack for stringing parts together in an organic, cohesive manner. Radar Recordings road warriors Junius demonstrate both sides of this equation, delivering the goods with their sophomore EP Blood is Bright." - Performer Magazine
"This album certainly might catapult them into the realm of the most revered bands in their genre." - Absolute Punk (review of Blood is Bright)
"I can honestly say there aren't many bands I know of doing anything as close to as good and as different as this." - Bystander Fanzine
