Giro Junkie are (now) a two piece drum and acoustic combo playing in and out of Stoke. With street folk songs and a 2nd hand sound, giro junkie are hoping to leave the singer-songwriter label behind and move on to something a bit more......broken.
Plans are afoot to self record their debut album [tentatively titled 'taxi for dave'] with the help of kris tomkinson (iye/chien) and finally have something that encapsulates that junk shop sound.
