Juhu Beach is...

The Seattle band plays an infectious blend of indie rock and angular punk. They can slap you with some sassy punk rock and then sing you to sleep with cunning melodies. There’s simply no excuse for me sleeping on something this good for so long.

—Will, soundaslanguage.com

In sound shapes that parallel North Carolina’s Bifocal Records, this mathy, angular post-punk collective from Seattle rock out to four songs of whole goodness on the EP Scenes of Abandoned Industry. An unimaginable shock that such rock would not have Juhu Beach signed to some hot label…

—www.exoduster.com

“...it’s fucking great. That second song blew me away yesterday when I played it. I reached out to use it as a podcast song of the day”

– John in the Morning, KEXP (Seattle, WA)

This four-piece played with a lot of energy…unconventional structure of many of their songs, the guitarists changing directions multiple times within each, yet still able to round them out with some catchy riffs and creative mantra-like vocals from all but the drummer.

—NW Music Blog

Scenes of Abandoned Industry is an interesting cut from a band that has great potential and I hope to hear some really great things soon.

—Scott Landis, Independent Clauses

a sound that would fit perfectly into the soundtrack of a slightly depressing coming of age film. Juhu Beach is soon to be discovered and their success will reach far beyond the Northwest.

—Todd, Rainy Dawg Radio

Scenes of Abandoned Industry…shows a lot of creativity and backs it up with solid playing…guessing where the choruses will come and predicting the harmonies won't be easy…There's a lot to recommend the EP anyway, even if only as a teaser for what might be a really solid album.

—David Smith, Delusions of Adequacy

this Seattle group delivers…listen to the driving ‘But the Captain’s Still Out There’ with chanted vocals and you will thank guitar God that…their mix of urgent guitars, unusual melodies…

—Tim Scott, Screaming Bloody Mess

I will continue to listen and replay. The clarity like the feedback endures.

—Carl Macki, Punk Globe

...a unique and fresh approach. The record sounded angry and defiant but not getting too excited by keeping their composure and tact.”

– KDUP (Portland, OR)

vocals chanted throughout most of the songs on the EP, Juhu Beach’s minimalist melodic noise instrumentation plays on influences like Fugazi.

—Corinne, pluginmusic.com

There is enough here to make Juhu Beach a find, especially if and when their full-length ever comes out.

—Josh Spilker, Wonka Vision Reviews

...makes you want to dance and trash the room all at the same time. If you're looking for something a little different then the mainstream, this is where you'll find it.

—Elizabeth Benavidez, Artsy Noise

The sound has a sort of punk meets emo without all the whining and crying you would normally expect from the emo side. The band's sound is very powerful...

—TruePunk.com

This CD (Scenes of Abandoned Industry) is only four songs but is quite good!

—Swimmer's Ear

What Juhu Beach are for reals are a burst of cathartic and raw indie rock delivered in tight-knit packages that wax and wane between early Modest Mouse—inspired guitar wailing and snappy Shellac vocal attacks.

—Megan Seling, The Stranger

Juhu keep their sonic fingerprint unique with an influx of furious, dense guitars and a more succinct approach to song structures... brief, but blisteringly beautiful...angular rock songs.

—Hannah Levin, Seattle Weekly

Never dropping the ball on the energy level, this band kept it going strong throughout their set.

—Jefferson Morriss, What’s Up Magazine

Innovative and interesting, but still classically pissed-off and loud.

—The Stranger-5/2006

Juhu Beach is like injecting caffeine and cocaine into your scrotum!"

- The Matt Brown

I demand all rock-loving Seattleites (that's you!) to stop ignoring Juhu Beach and immediately embrace their vastly underrated and pissed-off convulsions...("I'm not okay you know!!!")

—Megan Seling, The Stranger

Shoegazer guitars are juxtaposed with hoarse vocals that passionately spit out demands like "put your back into it!" and "don't give up!" while their turbulent melodies twist songs into complicated knots."

—Megan Seling, The Stranger

...the band's anguished, emotional-without-sounding-emo vocals make it stand apart from the herd."

—Timeout NYC

...Their spot-on rock melodies could break through the veneer of indie-crowd indifference as well as stand up to anything an annoying frat guy would throw their way."

—Dana, threeimaginarygirls.com

This is what indie rock is supposed to be all about.

- Jim Testa, Jersey Beat

Juhu Beach's unhinged indie-rock temper tantrums pair a mild early-'90s sheen with the experimental guitar work of early Modest Mouse...a night, showcasing some of Seattle's best hidden gems.

—Megan Seling, The Stranger
