ABOUT THE JUNIPERS


The Sun doesn't shine too much where The Junipers come from, but its warming rays can be felt all over their debut album "Cut Your Key". This cosmic pop outfit are a breath of fresh air that draw inspiration from the past, present & the future, creating a wall of sound by subtly utilising their collection of antique, primitive & modern instruments.The recorded Junipers is mostly the work of songwriter & founder Joe Wiltshire, who records everything at his own studio & vocalist Marc Johnston. They have been honing their craft since 2000; in that time they have built their own studio, recorded & given away three demo albums & formed a five piece band.2005 saw the addition of friends Pete Gough on guitar, Stuart Pratt on drums & Liam Riley on bass. Between them all they have a record collection to die for & have managed to draw on that wealth of sonic schooling to create a truly incredible & unique sound. "Honest, Joyful songs with sucrose vocals & chord changes pulled from a broken heart" has been the perspective of reviewers, a perfect summary of what this band are all about.So, from being hermit like psychedelic warlords, The Junipers had suddenly found themselves a great live draw & were creating a stir.In 2007 they were signed by indie label San Remo & were put to work on recording their debut album. Recording commenced in July 2007 at their own studio & was complete in 2008. The outcome, pop perfection, a stunning collection of songs, each full of sparkle & optimism.The album "Cut Your Key" is due for general release in September 2008.
