Junkie & the Spider,
founded in early 2007,
is a creative mergence of three well established
local
bands to form a group with a
ravenous appetite for writing and preforming music.
They moved quickly and in thier first 10 months wrote and recorded
a five song EP, played Ottawa's best venues and made many
new friends and contacts in the music industry.
J&S has since evolved into a culmination
with this one collective purpose;
to bring to the world, unique
blends of passionate and euphoric
Alt/Rock fused with heavy grooves topped off with layers of
emotion filled vocal stylings.
Described as an exciting
marriage of funk and metal
guitars, entwined with groovin'
drum and bass paraphenalia
J&S has tailor made this music
to showcase thier strengths.
Now they stand poised within striking
distance of thier goal to bring
a full length album of thier music to you, thier listeners and fans.
J&S would also like to acknowledge
the following people for either
thier help bringing us together or with
the EP itself:
Nick Beaton @ Raven St Studios
Jason Jaknunas @ Metropolitain Studio,
Narcis @N.H. Studio
Fabian Melanson @ FmDesigns,
Dave Wong and Chris Topp

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE is not just an outdated catch phrase!! It's still as important as when it was first written!!
We can still all do this.....and if you want to be part of the solution...
...then do consider adding my new song, "Think Peace" to your profile. It's easy to do, just go to my profile and right under the song title on the player is a place to choose "ADD".
The more that this song gets heard, the more that people will stop for a moment, interrupt their routine, and think about peace. If people do this, even just for a moment, there is an effect! So, YOU can be part of the solution....
And if you do add the song to your profile, PLEASE be sure to let me know so I can drop you a note and thank you personally! ;)
Think Peace! Sing Peace! BE peace! Much Love, Andrew
