Junkie And The Spider

About Me


ALL SONGS ARE DOWNLOADABLE ON THIS SITE. We want our music out there so much that we have made all of our studio tracks free for download. We do this in hopes that you will fall in love with the tracks, and come out to one of our shows in the near future. Please let us know what you think of them as we love feedback either good or constructive. We have posted all 5 songs from our EP on iLike and they are available for listening and download there as well.
Junkie & the Spider,
founded in early 2007, is a creative mergence of three well established local
bands to form a group with a ravenous appetite for writing
and preforming music. They moved quickly and in thier first 10 months wrote and recorded a five song EP, played Ottawa's best venues and made many
new friends and contacts in the music industry.
J&S has since evolved into a culmination with this one collective purpose;
to bring to the world, unique blends of passionate and euphoric
Alt/Rock fused with heavy grooves topped off with layers of emotion filled vocal stylings.
Described as an exciting marriage of funk and metal
guitars, entwined with groovin' drum and bass paraphenalia
J&S has tailor made this music to showcase thier strengths.
Now they stand poised within striking distance of thier goal to bring
a full length album of thier music to you, thier listeners and fans. J&S would also like to acknowledge
the following people for either thier help bringing us together or with
the EP itself: Nick Beaton @ Raven St Studios
Jason Jaknunas @ Metropolitain Studio, Narcis @N.H. Studio
Fabian Melanson @ FmDesigns, Dave Wong and Chris Topp
