ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Chris and Joe Quinlan grew up in small Midwestern town far away from big city lights. They wrote songs for their mother Barbara Jean who had the sense to expose them to the Beatles as chidren. The brothers Quilnan split for college along with Justus Woolever at the age of 18 and befriended Erik and Jeff who play drums and bass respectively. They embarked on a musical morph from party band to recording artists and quickly became known as Bottle of Justus."BOJ" release a few CDs and tour around the country playing in front of lots of people. They know they are on the right track when Wesley Willis records a song about them whipping a Llama's ass.Bottle of Justus churn our heartfelt original music fueled by the toil of twin brothers with an unbridled independent spirit. They will come to your town and grind out a show to remember, drink all your beer and share the deli tray with the crowd. BOJ care not about the how many brown M&M's are in the bowl backstage. They will however, bring the backstage back to the hotel with the latest afternoon checkout in your town.God forbid they find your home first.BOJ continues to pull off the great Rock and Roll swindle by doing it all themselves and answering to nobody. They'll even tell you a story or two. So make sure to ask them about being strapped in Iowa City with Evan Dando.

Here is an album which is FILLED with tons of great soft modern rock (ala Tal Bachman & Dishwalla) with a more mainstream sort of acoustic approach (ala Shawn Mullins) which is just PURE PURE heaven. This is SURE an album for all you melodic jerks out there that adore well produced refrain-orgasms and the voice of Chris Quinlan is nothing less that damn impressing. And so is the production. Its kinda unnecessary to write about specific tracks here as the album is so freekin good all through. This review is not a recommendation. Its a demand from us here at Melodic.net to you all surf to their homepage right away and take a listen. And be stunned. Im sure you all will be. A new hype has started. Join the train today.
