Junto

Hard-art rock band motivated by their passion for music and the live arena.With the delivery of a multi sensory experience, Junto explores contrasting, but complimentary atmospheric soundscapes, pushing the boundaries of raw emotion and absolute energy. A conscious shifting exercise that they delve into both on stage and in the studio.Junto's debut release is the culmination of 18mths on the live circuit of Sydney and very successfully captures the live energy of a band, who's reputation continues to build of the strength of its musical conviction and captivating live performance.Having spent the beginning of 2005 touring extensively - including joining the NSW leg of the sold-out The Butterfly Effect tour, and having their first interstate adventure down in Victoria taking in both city and regional shows - Junto have spent the last 4 months locked in the studio continuing their exploration of sonic landscapes and musical ideas resulting in a whole new chapter in the Junto repertoire.Now joined by Hayden Chee (ex ECM, Taboo) on drums, Junto are ready to take back the stage to offer the next round...Reviews:'..it would be a complete injustice to Junto if I tried to put into words the enormous power over the audience the band commands. The vocalist's magnetic stage presence makes it hard to not stand up and take notice&capturing my eyes and ears also, was the fact that they did not only stick to the customary instrumentation'Frenzie FASTER LOUDER Live review 2/4/04'..spoken word intros, racing riffs, pure energy&the singer looked like he was channeling the spirit world.."Andy Seccombe BRAG , Live review 4/10/04'..Junto, are building quite a following in their own right. As always they performed a tight, intense set and succeeded in capturing the attention of the audience&they are definitely one of Australia's most promising acts, and any band that gives a nod to Portishead (they cover Wandering Star) is okay in my book.'Jenny FASTER~LOUDER Live review 20/12/04 APRIL 2007: Junto have decided to call it a day. An official announcement by the band will be made shortly. Thank you for all your support. Stay tuned to find out the what will leap out of the ashes of this amazing band
