Formed in 2003, Junkie Brush went through various metamorphoses before emerging naked, bloody and screaming onto the stage of the Oxford Zodiac in early 2004. Wasting no time they recorded an album in two days on a disused airfield, releasing it as "Songs for the Angry Pacifist" in summer 2004. Drummer Shark then left the band to concentrate on other projects, bringing Jase in on drums to join Rabid and Big Tim. They quickly recorded a new E.P. - "Hearts & Mines" (2005) - before returning to the stage meaner and harder than ever.
2006 saw the band go from strength to strength, playing wider and more prestigious gigs - they headlined the Riverside stage at Cornbury Festival 2006, played Wittstock festival for the second year running and were main support for punk legends Discharge at the Oxford Zodiac. They recorded the "Eyeing up the Enemy" EP in the summer of 2006 and launched it at their now-legendary annual Hallowe'en gig. 2006 also saw them organise a charity 5-a-side football tournament in association with Audioscope and OxfordBands.com. The tournament featured bands from across Oxfordshire teaming up to kick lumps out of each other.
After supporting Discharge in November 2006, the band split for a short Christmas break. A short break became a longer one as babies began to arrive at an alarming rate and mental and physical health became questionable. Jase left in the summer of 2007 and the band went on hiatus. Fast forward to summer 2008 and the machinery began to grind again. Jim joined on drums, rehearsals moved at a furious pace, new material was written and the band hit the stage to a wild reception at their first Hallowe'en gig in two years.
Currently working on a new mini-album, the band are writing and recording hard, playing only select gigs before a big launch in the summer of 2009.
