"Awesome album: The lead guitar uses alot of phaser and chorus effects, doing some blistering spacey leads, with chunky, fuzzy rhythm guitar riffs. The dual-female vocals are soft and dreamy, with lots of reverb. The bass is pretty muscular, and the drums are at times jazzy, then tribal. They opened for Dinosaur Jr a few years ago. I saw the drummer in the grocery store the other day. Cool. " -Amazon.com
Juned formed from members of Seattle bands, Kill Sybill and My Diva. Mixing hints of Seattle grungerock with ethereal guitar and vocals, Juned travelled where few other bands did. (The only other band I've heard that sounded remotely like them were Kittywinder, who broke up at almost the same time.) Not so punk they'd only appeal to alternarockers, and almost melodic enough for the mainstream, they are also talented instrumentalists with catchy flavours to their playing. I loved their blend of sound, and it was plenty gritty and melodic enough both for me. Their second album, Every Night For You, which stresses their melodic side just a little more than their first, is a wonderful album and should have garnered them a wider audience had they stuck together long enough to reap the rewards. They should have had a bright future in the wider world they were poised to reach. (Neile)
