   About jr+sons
Hi there friends. we've updated our myspace page and our website (juniorandsons.com) recently to share 3 new songs we've recorded. I hope you'll check them out and tell us you love us even more. The stuff was recorded over the last several months. Painstakingly we moved from Garageband to Logic and I screwed about everything up along the way. Still, our good friend Trevor was able to fix some of the bad guitar sounds and help us out, and I think what we have is pretty good.

We'll probably update them with better mixes, as these are a bit rushed, because well, we have a show coming up at Luna Lounge in Williamsburg, and we would love you to check them out.

If you wanna download anything, go to our site. Please feel free to comment, and we'll feel free to omit anything bad you have to say.

Thanks for checking in.

Here's our Bio and whatever for the business types:

Drawing their name from the Williamsburg bar next to their old rehearsal space, Junior and Sons developed while John Connell was playing drums with indie pop tunesmiths Jerkwater in the late 90's. Still playing with Kings County Queens, he continues working as a drummer and vocalist. His work with Skycam, Cementhead, and Blasco Ballroom, allowed for a diverse experience ranging from punk and indie to cabaret.

Playing in as many as four bands at once can be unruly and when an opening came in the summer of 2004, John began to dedicate more time to his own music. He asked Todd Kovner and Steve Decroes to help create his new band.

Rock and Roll luminary B.P. Fallon called Junior and Sons' music "Contagious pure pop for now people with harmonies like The Beach Boys on a bender." The band manages to cram a respectable amount of vocal harmony into their vigorous pop songs.

While many of the band's main influences revolve around 90's rock and indie, their music recalls the songwriting of Paul Westerberg and Bob Mould. Ever-failing relationships and tales of fighting and accepting helplessness can be found throughout the lyrics which are often delivered with more buoyant melodies than the context might suggest.

Steve later moved out of NYC and John and Todd enlisted the help of their friend Chuck Dean (drums), which is the current lineup coming soon to a venue near you. The group enters the studio this Spring to record it's first official release.
