After relocating to Chicago from the Bay Area, Grape Juice Records has found a niche in the Chicago music scene that combines great songwriting with fun, energetic bands. Recent releases include The Butcher's Boy, "Skin and Bones", Curtis Evans, "More Songs About Loneliness", and The MPLS Henrys, "The Way of the Albatross". You can buy any album in our catalog by visiting our website.
"A band like The Minneapolis Henrys come around every so often. They know they may never be rock stars, but this isn’t why they got into the business of making groundbreaking records. They’ve managed to fuse everything they love about underground music, and spit it out with an original flare rarely seen or heard anymore... The Minneapolis Henrys are your new favorite band. You’re welcome."
~Consequence Of Sound _______________________________
"A 29-year-old Elgin native, singer-guitarist Curtis Evans is disreputable looking and frighteningly talented, with a melodious country-soul voice that sometimes gets sloppy, thick, and heavy—like if Hank Williams had tried a little of what Nick Cave’s been drinking. On his latest release, the EP More Songs About Loneliness (Grape Juice Records), he brings more heartbreak to the table—a rickety bar table, carved with lovers’ initials—than a normal unmedicated person can handle. While the EP is a study in the many ways to be downtrodden, maudlin, and lovelorn, onstage Evans sometimes adds a more sinister note to his persona, gesticulating and carrying on like a dissolute and heretical preacher—and the fuzzy conflagration of psychedelic guitar on “There Is a Devil” proves he knows a thing or two about hellfire."
